Sarah Skrlj is a Toronto-based artist who specializes
in intricate pen and ink designs. She implements
various cultural influences into her work inspired by
her world travels.
Skrlj is fascinated by the power and elegance of the
black and white colour scheme; the majority of her
work is monochromatic.
Skrlj sought inspiration for the TELUS Health Brain
Project from the idea of tattoos and memories being intrinsically linked. The very act
of a tattoo is having a distinct memory, moment, object or person with you forever.
Sadly, Alzheimer's and dementia inevitably cause memories to diminish and
wither, but with tattoos, the potential is there for those memories to stay alive...
even after the person's memory has faded.
