ZEPPA REBIRTH
1983
”Picture Letters” ”Picture Letters”, The New Language!
”Picture Lettes” The New Language!
Overnight – after a year of struggling with simple sketched lines all over
the walls in her studio, over and over… at least five times and each time tearing
it down – Zeppa got in contact with something holy, she says… an inner
language! Slowly she could find stories to tell again… her work developed, and
has done ever since. Some of Zeppas work during the years after 1983 are
heavily dependent upon ”The Picture Letter”.

”CONTACT” ”Contact” IS A STORY about a cracked wall
… about a breakthrough, about contact with something incomprehensible
and all together different… something from the outside – like a UFO, or a crack
from within, tangible like blood.
”Contact” is one of those paintings built upon ”The Picture Letter”, like alphabetic letters put
together, to form ”words”, meanings and stories.
