Krtsch uses painting, photography and sculpture creating dialogues and suspended narratives - derived from memories, personal and fabricated experiences – investigating the tensions between the realms of reality and fiction.
The exploration of themes are highlighted through her various modes of practice – although predominantly known for her oil on canvas paintings which engage the viewer with their whymiscal and yet sinister subjects, she also creates characters from Plasticine constructing scenarios which reiterate her central themes, often resulting in series of photographic works.
