We walk across collapsed burial mounds, along worn tarmac and salt marsh, through quagmires where black crows pick at the remnants of life.
‘THIS TERRAIN MIRRORS OUR OWN MOMENT. PAST AND PRESENT NO LONGER SIT IN SEQUENCE BUT OVERLAP, ERODING INTO ONE ANOTHER. THE CHALK CLIFFS, CONTINUALLY SHAPED BY PRESSURE AND WEATHER, REVEAL HOW ALL HUMAN STRUCTURES REMAIN PROVISIONAL. WHAT WE BUILD INSISTS ON PERMANENCE. WHAT SURROUNDS US ANSWERS WITH CHANGE’
I am delighted to share that my work has been featured in *The Pasticheur: Literature, Art & Ideas* in a beautifully presented article titled **“Monika K Adler – Chalk Stone White.”**
This publication brings together literature, visual art, and critical thought in a way that feels both intimate and intellectually generous, and I am truly honoured to be included among its contributors.
“Chalk Stone White” reflects a deeply personal strand of my practice — one that explores fragility and endurance, silence and texture, presence and erasure. The works presented in the feature speak through restraint. White becomes not emptiness, but resonance. Chalk becomes not dust, but trace. Stone becomes not weight, but memory.
The article thoughtfully contextualises my creative process and the emotional terrain behind the work. It captures the quiet intensity that drives my exploration of material and meaning, and I am grateful for the sensitivity and insight with which it was written and curated.
For me, this feature is more than a publication — it is a moment of reflection. It affirms the importance of subtlety in a world that often demands noise. It reminds me why I continue to pursue work that is contemplative, tactile, and rooted in inner landscapes.
I warmly invite you to read the full feature and explore the images and accompanying reflections.
Thank you, as always, for supporting my artistic journey and for engaging with the evolving language of my work.
With gratitude,
Monika K. Adler
