I met Egge Altena at the gallery early this summer

we talked about the show that was up and got deeper

 and deeper into our art backgrounds and our history in 

travel and life.

I felt immediate fondness of Egge and developed 

a strong bond.

the next day I got to see her website and talked about a possible 

project at the gallery where she would create a site specific 

installation.

Ms. Altena who was born in Rijssen, Netherlands and who's art

has been central in her life, and not so with committing to following

typical schools or career paths, It put her, a basically self tough 

artist, on a long and arduous road in her work in which she 

concentrated mostly on developing her ideas and her work through 

writing.

Egge has had several shows since 2000 and has traveled to the US

and Berlin where she does most of hr work
