“Would-Wouldn't" offers interesting solutions as the drawing grows out of an organic substance around different layers of images. Kask uses her inner vision as the basis of the series and the depicted images and situations are deliberately left vague. Dream images are real and credible when surrounded by mystery. Moving between the states of dream and consciousness, the artist delightfully depicts her life experience. In the foreground there is an individual and image mediates human emotion: concern, confusion, restlessness, sadness and fear of losing ‘the self'. Kask's drawing style is appropriate to bring up subjects that are difficult to grasp; it does not leave a strong line, it is uneven and erratic empty surfaces. She allows the bodies to talk about things that are difficult to express through words. Kask's thoughts about the body are best illustrated in a summary by Urmas Muru in “Freedom and Security": “The body feels fear. The body feels anxiety. The body gets afraid. The body feels pain. The body cheats. The body loathes. The body bleeds. The body moves."* Eha Komissarov * Urmas Muru, Five stories about the birth of architecture (Viis lugu arhitektuuri sünnist). - Eesti Ekspress, 1999, 16 September.
