Text: “Like anyone else, I get lonely or insecure. Making my art is like creating companions or more well-formed versions of myself. My artworks are like mirrors, but ones where I can manipulate what’s being reflected at me.” —Artist @gitte_maria (Gitte Maria Moller) 
 
Realized across mixed media, including wire frames, 3D sculpture, print plexiglass, panel paintings and site-specific installations, Gitte’s art explores themes in multitude: icons of childhood, 90s computer games, walls, fences and dead ends, pain and joy. 
 
“I draw inspiration across time and history, from the ancient to the contemporary, but I like to think that these things all exist on the same plane and have equal value. Things only have value or importance because we ascribe it, so I like to play around with that, both in the materials I work with and in the content. 
 
I try not to be too goal oriented when I am making work. It’s rather a feeling of something interior that spreads outward. The meaning becomes clearer to me when I’ve had some distance from the reality that generated the artwork. I like to be surprised in this way, so I create a lot of space for chance.”
