About The Artwork
It’s unusual to encounter drawings with the intensity of those by Berga. In 2003-04 she worked on a single drawing for twelve months – focussed on the more than lifesize image of musican/artist/performer Geoff Corbett. The intensity was such that she has hesitated to commit to a project of similar magnitude since. Berga’s previous long and magnificnet drawings include the Portraits of Emma Tom (2000)... .They capture the attitudes of this variable writer whose column in the Weekend Australian offended as many as it entertained... Berga's impression of Tom as a strong personality, committed to self-expression, or just to self, (?) dominates over other details. Berga won the Trustees' Prize at the 2000 Kedumba Drawing Awards with this portrait, shown alongside Portraits Two and Three. (The Kedumba Drawing Award is a national award: invitation-only, highly-coveted and highly competitive.)

Australia
Born New Zealand 1970--lives and works Australia--works across sculpture, drawing, painting, text and installation 'In both form and content, Berga's works are acts of transgression and transformation....There is something uncannily open about Berga's palpable and in fact electrifying work, something frank and disarming, bordering on the unguarded, a' salut without return' as Derrida puts it-a gesture of self expression and mortal vulnerability, made as if in insistent wager... as one risking exposure to the other'-DAVID L. CLARK 'Berga examines the elemental forces of sex and death.... Her works are powerful evocations into form of the nature of human beingness and of natural human recourse to formlessness'-ALISON KUBLER Berga is extensively privately collected and curated across Australia and around the world.
