“My studio looks like the day after a storm that somehow twirled together
deep woods and a burlesque dressing room.
Branches piled with vintage velvet leaves, sequins on top of mushroom prints and fungi, crystals and dead flowers are all over the place. The shadows of the twigs and branches are traced and then rendered in ink on paper. Favorite trees in Moscow, Uxmal or Stella Maris are photographed, printed out and collaged with the renderings of branches, pressed real foliage, holographic papers, spore prints, velvet leaves, sequins, embroidery. Botany, decay, glamour and artifice.”
