Listen to this content
We commissioned art writer, poet and musician Mary Jane Dunphe to respond to Alkmini Gkousiari’s ‘You didn’t come from the egg but also not made from soil and water’ (2022), and you can read and listen to her text on the work below.
ONE WORK is a series of online discussion events to think more deeply about how an artwork came into being. Focusing closely on a single work, these generous discussions provide space for an artist to present a recent work and talk through the work’s creation. The events are accompanied by a month-long online screening and specially commissioned written response published on the LUX Scotland website.
Alkmini Gkousiari’s ‘You didn’t come from the egg but also not made from soil and water’ (2022) was presented on the LUX Scotland website in July 2023 as part of our ONE WORK series.
Mary Jane Dunphe is an art writer, poet and musician. She is the author of Lily Rd. (Imp 2019), curator and editor of the poetry anthology, Nocturnal Properties (Mundus 2022) and is currently celebrating her most recent musical release, Stage of Love, out on Pop Wig Records (2023).
