I am happy to announce that my solo exhibition On Another Shore is currently at Millspace gallery in Newmarket, NH — thank you to everyone who made it to the opening! Also, NPR interviewed me and you can listen here:
For many of us, 2020 was a tumultuous time. For me, it marked a big change; I moved from California to the other shore of the East Coast. This move generated a series of mythological forest creatures inspired by the New England wildlife. These archetypes were serene, mysterious beings viewing imminent changes as a path for future spiritual growth.My work shifted dramatically since Russia invaded my motherland Ukraine. My sculptures became punctured with holes as if they got shelled by bombs and propaganda. The surfaces are now covered with crawling glazes reminiscent of ashes. Drawing with negative space, I am letting light penetrate the openings and orifices. Each of these sculptures reflect a particular moment of this war. We are in an unprecedented moment. It seems we still have more of these excruciating trials to go through before approaching the age of peace and creativity. As an eternal optimist I believe deeply in the goodness of people everywhere. We are the Earth’s consciousness and it is up to us to steer ourselves into a bright future!
