In a March of 2022 I like probably most of peoiple in a Europe, and a lot around a World got schocked by what is happening on a near borders of Ukraina. It was a time where my creativity stopped flowing. After few months of living without significant creative activity, except crocheting and kniting, I am back to my path of sanity trough art. It was helpfull for me to change format, to buy new book I can fill with pictures, and also to decide that beauty is allowed and needed dispite of all.
Creating picture abowe all this toughts and feelings got clear structure and now I am ready to publish my last production.
Texts are a part of picture, and I look at them as kind of haikus belonging to picture.
I am lucky to have collection of japaneese decorative paper (chiyogami papier) snippets,and I really love sometime just strolling trough them. This time lot of them found way to my collages.
Internet is not medium transporting haptic of some of them. Once I will have to have physicall exiption of my work.
Also to transport golden glowe of those paper, is not easy, not with my camera and my photographer capabilities, but I hope you see a bit of it.Some of this papers deserve to be pictures of they own.
Even a big Albrecht Dürer found a way to my pictures. No one can escape ;-).
Second important inspiration for this series is a “Kunst Tagesabreißkalender 2022”. There is a one picture of art object per day here, and some of them were inspiring me to start daily work. Also some other were just fitting to already composed setting.
I started learning to work with aquarell paints around Christmas, and peaces of my not so sucessful paintings also found ther way to my compositions.
Last picture in this series reflects experiences I made in days where I had lot of emotional interactions with people around me, and then additionally informing myself about what is going on in the world last days, too much of everything. Also in this situation, beeing able to express myself, helped me to find my way to cope with all this.
