DENIZEN GALLERY

MEET THE ARTIST

MARCELE Mitscherlich

The pandemic has slowed all our lives way down and caused so much separation, but it can’t get in the way of the flow of creativity when we are open to it.

It’s been a pleasure to create this body of work, inspired by the DENIZEN Theatre’s new production TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU IN THE END and especially the collaboration with director JJ Kandel. Our discussions generated a cascade of ideas, the kind that all artists long for. The pieces now in the gallery were unearthed by immersing myself in the script. Everywhere I turned a new inspiration appeared; it was exciting to bring the combination of technical proficiency and confidence to interpret LaBute’s storyline into these pieces of art. Each one subtly pulls the observer into the narrative of the show. I’m aware that this kind of creative connection is always there, yet it’s easily lost, hidden in the shadows; it’s such a gift when we open up to seeing it.
