Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook (just sound it out) - Contemporary Female Thai Artist

"Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook’s output makes the work of a critic easy. Since turning to video in the late 90s she has unfolded an oeuvre that approaches questions of the relationship between life and death in the manner expected of all great art. By turns, Araya’s imagery is contemplative, mysterious, questioning, illuminating and provocative." -Art.Signal
