I’LL LOVE YOU TILL

Feb 1 – Mar 11, 2016

About the Artist      

“Characterised by their brevity, brutal wit and underlying melancholy, Berga's works are refrains, dreams, songs, secrets told to us of failed relations and broken arrangements; they are mantras for the broken hearted or jaded among us.” — Alison Kubler

“Berga is a writer and an artist given to indepth observation of the psyche, to exposure of the essence … [to] the angst, pain and fissures of the journey ... There are few artists as versatile, whose work traverses territory at once literary, poetic, and visual.” — Louise Martin-Chew

About the Artist

Krista Berga

Auckland-born, Brisbane-based, Krista Berga works across sculpture, drawing, painting, text and installation. 

“In both form and content, Berga's works are acts of transgression and transformation ... palpable and in fact electrifying.” — David L. Clark
