Melli Ink:
A gradute in theatre design at Central St. Martins College, London, Melli worked in theatre, opera and film, designing both sets and costumes. Her background of theatre design informs her work as fine artist to this day. Her media include sculpture, film and performance.
The artist draws her inspiration from art history, literature, film and music. Popular culture is as important to her as high culture, questioning its history and relevance and translating it into our time. Melli Ink works with glassblowers and other artisans representing dying professions to produce her work. She is fond of incorporating traditional techniques and repurposing them for contemporary art.
Her work is strongly influenced by the Alpine folk art of her native Austria, which is reflected in the value she places in the craft of the artisan. She specialises in juxtaposing the use of materials such as glass and mountain crystal, metal and ceramics.
Melli Ink’s works have been presented at the following art fairs: Art Basel, Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Basel Hong Kong, Armoury Show New York. Her work is represented in collections in Europe, USA and Asia.
