In many works of Tanya Preminger Mother Earth is represented, not as an object of sculptural desires or as a subject, rather than being exemplary and fundamental starting point. Your objects and sculptures, land art projects come from a deep world of their individual history and from this their artistic exploration. The Venus of Willendorf is here not the bildhaueri -schen godfather, the Fertile here is still topic of discussion and debate worth; it is not a timeless subject, it is not just a women’s issue, this is the time immanent. The discreet humor their translation goes beyond matriarchal and has many signs: sucking at the teat of the world, the sanctuary of fertility (there is such a thing?), – And what a banal udder to do with it? If female breast is stylized and operated for oversized siliconized weapon, flowing with milk and honey only from rectangular tetra packs of the supermarket, then takes over in this case, the sculptress their responsibility to relationships between form and content to point. With a discreet wink, of course.

The material stone underscores here to eternity claim of a principle: only while seed falls on fertile ground … or is it: just as long as fertile seed falls to the ground? … The reputation and the question of mother nature is still loud … (UJM)
