I had a broken heart, and the world around progressively slowed down until it completely froze. I fell asleep. Half of me dreamed hung in space, while the other half was wandering through the forest, finding objects on its path – crushed, wrinkled, events and thoughts, which grew into complex plant structures. My inner time passed independently from the actual time. Both dimensions merged up into found objects and developed into images.
Painting reminds me a preparation of frozen foods. I cut out some parts of reality and keep them for later. I cut the pieces of myself and freeze. I’m trying to maintain freshness of emotions, and at the same time evaluate their meaning.
The project consists of two cycles of paintings depicting the characters characters arranged in a fetal position and studies of objects found in the wood.
Emergency curled up position prevents body from cooling down and insures interior organs. It is a closed position, protecting the heart, allowing fore survival and regeneration. Pieces of plants, stones, boards or bones make up the landscape of winter forest. The place where life is in hiding, gathers its strength to sprout anew, as soon as winter is over.
