ELKA

Today would have been Elka Spoerri's 83rd birthday. She was born in Sofia,Bulgaria.
She eventually came to live in Switzerland and ran the Adolf Woelfli Stiftung for 25 years doing research and publishing books and organising exhibitions of his work.
She was one of the most extraordinary people I have ever known.
I think of her very often and with much love. Today especially.
We named our female kitten Sofie Elka in honour of Elka. She is also a very unusual and feisty kitten just like Elka herself.
