Tactile vision / SOLO exhibition & workshop
July 2021
Esna, Estonia
I am very pleased to share the memories from my solo exhibition opening at Esna Gallery. Many thanks to Martin and Lillian Bristol for their hospitality and a great evening, Tatyana Mokhryakova for the impeccable curatorship, Kyle Lang and Evgenia Mokhryakova for their support and help with the installation, and also to Marina Kraan for a wonderful photo report. It was one of the most beautiful show openings I had! Biggest thanks to everyone who was there!
During the show opening I did a carbon monotype technique demonstration, and also I was interviewed by Mahendra Mahey, the formal head of the British Library Digital Laboratory.
TYpa - printing and paper art centre / Residency
May 6 - June 4, 2021
Tartu, Estonia
A month of residency at the TYPA museum has become a long-awaited time for me to experiment and refine many previously touched, but never fully disclosed topics. A month of wonderful acquaintances, exchange of ideas, and a time for new topics.
This time I managed to experiment on several points at once. First, the ability to insert color into my established monochrome style. Also, in the vicinity of TYPA, I found many unusual textures, which became the basis for a completely new image of shrimp and other scaly insects in my works. I transferred my graphic images to a ceramic surface also. I shared some practices in my technique at a workshop for the museum, and created an art book from fragments of my carbon monotype works.
I am very happy to get new friends - unique artists, and the beginnings of new joint projects. The only thing to regret is that it was too short. I wish I could stay longer than one month. Thank you all TYPA museum workers and volunteers for amazing time!
