Description

self portraits printed on fabric fixed on wooden bases my face child and adult at once made from photocopies of prayers my grandmother gave me in kalush where religiosity was the nature of the air i grew up constantly atoning for sins i did not understand and long felt misaligned with my grandmothers expectations yet this series is not about guilt but about accepting all my sides from the tender princess to the strange wanderer of my own psyche now these portraits form my conditional planet a map of the inner world with its own barriers and the ice of the unconscious gravities turn revealing countless archetypes as evidence of noble will in this soil lies the grid of my genotype the gene pool the genocide of my ancestors where each seed of will is a separate trait and each stitch a direction of growth that is why i chose printing on fabric it is not only my story it is the memory of the body of my mother her mother my great grandmother and all who stood behind me i thank them for choosing me for their lineage and i thank my grandmother for the faith that still helps me overcome difficulties this project is a chimera of prayer and play of genetics and choice of pain and the light of childhood in it there is no longer a monster there is a whole being that has accepted itself and sewn its broken heart into a new planet the beginning is here #magic_charcoal the metrics of feminine archetypes in truth these works are colored but the black and white texture like photograms cyanotype or manipulation with negatives is my personal story collages of text fabric beads childish and religious motifs lace association with ritual prayer relic #shybirkina
