Grand celebration at Hudson Winter Walk, 2017


Ukrainian Winter Star 
sculpture/installation
Traditionally Ukrainian Star has a shape of octagonal – eight rays coming from the center. This star is octagram: the projection of the diamond (the heavenly world) into a square (the material world), and their mutual intersection.

Ideologically, this is a symbol of the Order and the World Creation. It connects all sides of the world and indicates absolute balance, harmony and equilibrium.

Title: Negative Space of Positive Bodies
Sculpture project
Medium: plaster


Our sculpture is a result of an attempt to capture the shape of air between our bodies. Honoring gravity, respecting material, using intuitive thinking and sense of compositional harmony we let nature play a role in a making process.
The physical act involves our two bodies and the sculpture material, which from liquid transforms into solid substance.
While we share an intimate space together a substance is used between our flesh. The result work is an abstract image of a space between two identities (husband and wife) supporting and balancing each other and sharing a sensual space together.  A negative space between two positively energized forms manifests possibilities of two characters interacting physically and emotionally.
