Eliška Konečná

Eliška Konečná (Born in Dobřichovice 1992) lives and works in Prague. Her current work is based on an effort to display the untouchable mental space and paradoxically interpret it into material world. (and vice versa) This effort is related to her long-term interest in communication and its boundaries. She works with various media, currently mainly with wood and textile.
