"My recent work is happening on two trails - one, is digital explor­a­tion in search for meta­phors of feeling - The Land of Bearing Shapes. The second is based on tradi­tional painting tech­niques, where creation itself is way more spon­tanous. The Land of Bearing Shapes is neither entirely fictional nor real. This work is a sample of one kind of digital world, with its laws and rules taken from the 3d world. Its construc­tion however is based on my personal obser­va­tions of matter, emotions, beha­viors and inter­per­sonal games. I would like to spend the time of a resid­ency on invest­ig­ating. Bearing Shapes water­color. Namely, possible inter­sec­tion between generic, native to digital imagery and abstract water­colors. The process would involve analysis of moving human forms, flowing paint and possible symbolic meaning of both. In addi­tion to the project, I would like to conduct water­color work­shops for community.”
