the still version of my night of jazz this week
mixed media, 2025
“Why is nobody dancing?” ~ 2025, mixed media
This is how I feel when I listen to slavic folk songs, but I am surrounded by an industrial landscape distant to the rural place I was born in. Most of the time I just want to dance to these songs outside, to move with the wind and the branches. These songs make me feel free and fluid despite the fact that the songs are usually about giving daughters away for marriage. ~ I wanted to pay homage to my predicament.
“Walking for the sunset” ~ mixed media, 2025.
The other day I walked 12 km just to see the sunset in the right place, because it had to be in that place or nowhere else.
“The embrace of nature I.” ~ digital, 2025
I go on weekly long walks to stay a bit more sane and right now all the branches are still visible, beautiful and always have some birds conversing with each other. I see the branches and twigs stretching out towards me and I wish to be held by them. All those stories that twisted nature into something horrifying were wrong, the trees just want to stretch as far as they can from their initial spot. They would like to socialise, they would like to travel, they would like to grow. I relate a lot to the tree.
I might try to paint something similar to this feeling once more as I’m not 100% satisfied with this yet. I would like to see how close I can get to that feeling of interconnectedness with nature.
“Train ride home” digital, 2025.
There’s something special about the night landscape of a city as seen from a train car. It’s dark through and through; the light that glitters only hints at where you might be heading but it doesn’t ever clearly tell you where. That’s for you to figure out.
“Home sweet home” 2025. mixed media.
I like making amulets for friends and family, it feels purposeful to gift carefully chosen passages and quotes from books or poems to special people that can be carried with them wherever they go. And I like to make them slightly unkempt, as a reminder of the need for imperfection. I embroidered a quote from Rebecca Solnit for this one. Embroidering words always feels like another form of understanding them. Each word and letter becomes so important.
