Mille Guldbeck is an artist whose work is concerned with the intersections of craft and perception. She uses painting and drawing to talk about varying levels of reality through the representation of various physical planes. Her paintings, which employ illusionistic space in several genres, refer to how convincing a certain position may be at one point but somewhat unconvincing from a different viewpoint
