Séria Problém so psom

Séria hovorí o mojej osobnej a rodinnej traume, spočívajúcej v srdcervúcej strate milovaného psa, ktorého sme mali v rodine od môjho detstva. 

Až dnes si uvedomujem, ako veľmi som brala naše spolužitie ako samozrejmosť. Teraz, keď žijem sama v malom byte v inom meste, moju dušu sužuje obrovská túžba po psom spoločníkovi. Táto túžba každý dňom rastie a stáva sa obsesívnou myšlienkou, témou kresieb a napokon celej tvorby tohto “Psieho obdobia”. 

Po traumatickej strate psieho priateľa Boba nachádzam útechu v tvorbe  obrazov, či 3D foriem môjho vysnívaného psa. 

Snažím sa psa zložiť z rôznych predmetov, vytvoriť mechanického psa, ušiť a oživiť ho, namaľovať ho, privolať ho afirmačnými kolážami, či vytvoriť ho v hrnci pomocou zázračného receptu.

Pol roka si vylievaním emócie pomocou rôznych techník a materiálov. Obsesívna tvorba opäť v mojom živote predstavuje akúsi autoterapiu.

Séria Problém so psom sa vo mne uzatvára o niekoľko rokov neskôr, keď si adoptujem psa Ernesta z útulku. Tento pes pre mňa predstavuje naplnenú túžbu, no zároveň do môjho života prináša nové nepredvídateľné udalosti.

The Dog Problem series

Series explores my personal and family trauma rooted in the heartbreaking loss of a beloved dog who had been part of our family since my childhood. 

Only now do I realize how much I took our time together for granted. Now, living alone in a small apartment in a different city, I am overwhelmed by a deep longing for a canine companion. This longing grows each day, becoming an obsessive thought, the subject of my drawings, and ultimately the foundation of this so called “Dog Period”.

After the traumatic loss of our canine friend Bobo, I find solace in creating images and 3D forms of my idealized dog. I try to assemble a dog from various objects, to build a mechanical dog, to sew and bring it to life, to paint it, to summon it through affirmational collages, or even to create it in a pot using a magical recipe.

For half a year, I have been pouring out my emotions through various techniques and materials. This obsessive creation once again serves as a form of self-therapy in my life.

Series "The Dog Problem" is closing for me several years later, when I adopt a dog named Ernest from a shelter. This dog represents a fulfilled desire but also brings new, unpredictable events into my life.

Found some “lost” theatre posters from many years ago. These two are both signed by the casts. Take Me Out came signed as part of a @bcefa fundraiser. For The Dog Problem, I was the house manager at @atlantictheater and the cast signed this poster for me, including playwright David Rabe. . . #takemeout #thedogproblem #atlantictheatercompany #broadway #offbroadway #davidrabe #housemanager #found #showposters #autographs #fan #bcefa (at Ditmas Park, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/BymFZytJSSL/?igshid=ej8vsjwj6rov
