Koko approaches this series, ColorForms, embracing a mix of cultures and with a deep interest in composition and form. Her intercultural perspective and acute design sensibility meet intense color-her primary means of expression--to produce the striking, multimedia works seen here. Although Elkayam has executed paintings in the more conventional media of oil or gouache, her practice also includes such varied techniques as brightly colored vinyl [kitchen placemats] collaged on stretched vinyl and digital prints on canvas. This movement between traditional and non-traditional processes is paralleled by her subject matter, which deals with both biographical themes and subjects that directly confront the manner in which cultures are mixing and clashing in our contemporary society.
