<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">At what moment in your life did you realize that you were an artist? And how did that shape the important decisions you needed to make from that point forward?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">The moment I realized I was an artist came long after I started to paint or draw, or make things. Only when I began questioning myself why I make what I make did I start to consider my- self an artist. From that time forward</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">I wanted everything to be meaningful and speak about particulars. It became harder to make things. There was more time of inaction in the studio. And there were more spontaneity and deeper questions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">Do you believe that art can be taught?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">Art is in a race with its interpretation. There is no grammar in making art, but rather a plurality of rhetoric. Craft is part of art making and craft can be taught and should be taught. It is good to know and have “tools” in case you want to use them to deliver your artistic message. What is the difference between a musician and a painter? Why should a musician learn how to play a musi- cal instrument and how to read notes and spend all those hours of practice? I don’t want to take myself too seriously in the studio, but there is a desire to shoulder responsibilities for what I’m mak- ing and how I’m making it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">Can you please describe your creative process and how it has changed over the last 10 years?</span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">I started to see in layers. Whether it is painting, or drawing, or sculpture, I learned how to build in layers and how to reconstruct in layers. Every layer is very abstract, but at the same time very specific and very important and cannot be skipped. And with this discipline came an amazing freedom in my touch. I’ve developed more respect for the materials and honor the knowledge that comes with them. And it is very important for me now that the subject matter speaks to the material I choose, and vice versa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">In terms of composition I’ve become more democratic— everything counts, everything is important, each corner of the picture plane is taken into consideration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<div class="page" title="Page 20">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">How do you experience failure in your work and what are your coping processes?</span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">For me failure is another word for an experience. I have tried so many things. I keep trying. It is a good thing to fall, hit bottom and have the leverage to push yourself up with stronger energy. Failure brings a sense of richness. Failure brings possibilities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">As you look back on your career, if you could do it differently, what would you change?</span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">Experiment more, and work as if I will die in a couple of years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">What are you currently working on?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">I am sticking with my frescoes and plaster high reliefs. But there is a desire to get rid of intention of making a “work of art.” I want to be closer to cave artists and folk artists, where people actually made things for some practical/spiritual use.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">Partly I know what I want, and partly I just watch to see what will emerge in my hands and I will collaborate with it. And, simultaneously, these days being a young mother I am absorbing the experience of motherhood, feeding my imagination, getting pregnant with new ideas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">What other art forms have inspired you in your work?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">A weird combination of dance, cooking and embroidery always inspired me and felt very natural. I do all of those things and </span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">see so much in common. Among many characteristics there is a gesture, there is a color and there is a discipline.</span><br />
<div class="page" title="Page 21">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">Would you give us an example or two of other artist’s works that you admire and tell us why?</span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">There are too many of them and I don’t feel like selecting just a few would be fair to the way I feel. And besides, I don’t even know names of those who made cave paintings, or most of the African and Oceanic sculptures. Those are my true heroes. Even though I experience their work visually and look at it as pure art, I know that behind each work there was a practical purpose. And perhaps that is the key to the reason I’m so drawn to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">What is the hardest thing about being an artist?</span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">To stay honest to yourself without fear of being judged and misunderstood. Being authentic and trying to catch that change in my own growth and development is not easy. And even on an everyday basis it is hard to go to the studio and start doing something without any instructions: what, how and why are constant questions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">What is the best thing about being an artist?</span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">The best thing about being an artist is<br />the kind of freedom that gives you the permission to be willing to do something that may not work out. Making what<br />you feel passionate about and at the same time walking on edge and not staying in a safe place gives such tremendous energy. I take it as a luxury calling myself an artist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">If you were reading a review of your work, what would you want it to say?</span><span style="font-family: AGaramondPro; font-size: 10pt;">I do care about how people look at my work and what they see. I love my work to carry the dichotomy of being open and yet being mysterious. I love when viewers complete their own stories while looking at my work. I want people to relate and be engaged and to be challenged. The more comments on one piece, the better I feel about my work.</span></div>

HUDSON
— Hudson Hall presents Maryna Bilak: CARE, an exhibition documenting
the unseen process of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s—in this case,
the artist’s mother-in-law, Dorothy. Through charcoal drawings, fresco,
sculpture, and painting, Bilak’s installation delves into the different
roles that the act of caretaking requires from each person involved,
including the patient herself.<br />
<br />
The exhibition opens with a reception
with the artist on February 2nd, 2019 from 5 to 7 p.m, featuring a
performance of an original song composed for the exhibition by
Memphis-based pianist Michael S. Jaynes. The piece is inspired by
Jaynes’ own experience caring for his mother,also an Alzheimer’s
sufferer. Molly McCann, MHA, Associate Director of Programs and
Services: Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives, at the Alzheimer’s
Association of Northeastern New York will also be speaking. Maryna
Bilak: CARE is curated by Emily O’Leary and is on view until March 17.<br />
<br />
Dorothy—mother,
patient, older woman, mother-in-law—is the conceptual and often
physical nexus for each work in CARE. In a series of traditional
charcoal portraits, Dorothy is depicted chronologically, starting with
softly rendered images of girlhood that evolve gradually into more
harshly rendered scenes of the subject in the last vestiges of the
disease. The small-scale frescos provide limited glimpses into Dorothy’s
features—an eye, a mouth—and reflects on the disintegrated and
fractured mental state that accompanies Alzheimer’s. The installation
focuses on the tangible and intensely personal, incorporating clothing,
nail clippings, hair, and plaster casts of hands and feet.<br />
<br />
A
series of cast-off hangers, clothing, including a headboard that once
belonged to Dorothy turned on its side, becomes a delicate, conceptual
artwork. By engaging directly with these objects, they adopt newfound
significance and become an artistic language in which Bilak speaks to
the experience of what it is to be a caregiver.<br />
<br />
“This body of
artwork was created as a response to the long-term care provided by my
husband, Maurice and I to his mother, an Alzheimer’s sufferer,” she
says. “This project is about life with a mentally and physically
disabled person, and all the dedication, sacrifice and responsibility
that comes with it. It is about mother, son, and artist. It is about a
family,” she says.<br />
<br />
Born in the Carpathian Mountains in West
Ukraine, Maryna Bilak received her first MFA from Subcarpathian National
University (Ukraine). After, she studied at Balassi Bálint Hungarian
Cultural Institute in Budapest (Hungary), Charles University in Prague
(Czech Republic), and in 2014 received her second MFA from New York
Studio School. Since 2001 Maryna has exhibited her work in Ukraine,
Hungary, Slovakia, Russia, and USA. Her recent solo show Buon
Fresco/Fresh was featured at John Davis Gallery. Maryna lives in Hudson,
NY, with her husband Maurice Haughton, daughter Irina and her
mother-in-law Dorothy.</div>

<br />
I came to America in 2012 to study at the New York Studio School in
Manhattan. It’s my second MFA, but the education was so different from
my previous studies. It really changed me as an artist. I learned not <em>how</em> to make art but to ask myself <em>why</em>
I do what I do. As I was approaching graduation, in 2014, I had a show
in New York and one of the guests at the show was Maurice. He’s the
reason I stayed in America. We got married and moved to Hudson, and now I
have my art studio right next to the house, so I can work any time I
want. Most of the art for this exhibit was made after my daughter was
born; it was a very intense time. My daughter is the direct connection
to my mother-in-law, who suffers from Alzheimer’s.<br />

We moved to Hudson in 2015, but the caregiving started five years
ago, when we were first dating. Most couples go through this after 20 or
30 years of marriage, but we were still in the romantic period. I
became the main caregiver for Dorothy when she was still mobile, but I
did all the cooking, I showered her, all these kinds of intimate things.
I was working in the apartment and I would sculpt or paint on the
terrace and she would watch me. When someone has Alzheimer’s, they are
losing their ability to smile, but sometimes she would smile and laugh
and we really had fun. I was so happy to see that she was happy. That
was the beginning of our relationship.<br />
<br />
So many people say it’s beautiful and nice to be able to care for
someone like this, but it’s extremely challenging and it’s more than
artwork can express. It’s something that people don’t like to talk
about. There’s a level of resentment. Many people forget themselves and
dedicate themselves to the person who is sick. We talked to
professionals on how to deal with it, because we felt like we were
disappearing.<br />
<br />
Having Dorothy progressing with the disease put some challenges on
our relationship. Very often I would go to my studio for a break; I
would escape there. I tried to convince myself that it was my happy
place and my rescue, but all my thoughts were still focused on the
everyday experience of sharing space with someone who is mentally and
physically disabled. When the denial passed, I was standing in my studio
and I starting seeing some patterns in my work. I started noticing it
had those connections, so I decided to embrace my situation. My
mother-in-law became my model and a great inspiration. She likes the
attention and I love to make art. Her features are perfect for sculpture
and painting. When she was posing for portraits, she was normal, but as
soon as I was finished, she would go into another world that we don’t
understand.<br />
<br />
The fact that I’m an artist, and it was the only thing I never gave
up, really saved me and my marriage. The art is about Dorothy, but also
about me and my husband. The part of the exhibit called “Monologues” is
writing, and it’s a representation of thoughts from different
perspectives. There are 12 characters and I tried to figure out how each
feels. Dorothy is shown as three persons: a mother-in-law, an older
lady and an Alzheimer’s s patient. Maurice is a son, a husband and a
man, and I’m a daughter-in-law, a wife and an artist. It’s about how we
learn how to live with each other and go through the struggles.<br />
<br />
This is only a tiny expression of my experience, and the variety of
materials speak to all the varieties of situation that come with care.
“Caring Hands” is a special work because it’s a collaboration. I invited
everyone who helped us with Dorothy, who provided either physical or
emotional support. I mixed plaster and they each held it in their hands
until it set, about eight minutes. It’s a series of hands, installed on
one wall, framed but with no names, so it’s anonymous. It’s very
symbolic in that it shows how many people it takes to care for someone.<br />
<br />
Another part of the exhibit is a series of plaster abstract
sculptures. Dorothy would sometimes not recognize some of her clothing
and would want to get rid of it. I collected the cloth and used it as
material. I sewed it together like it was a body and poured liquid
plaster over it. There was very little I could do to control how it set,
which is just like being a caregiver.<br />
<br />
The exhibit shows care but also how I help myself; there were tough
moments and I felt very often weak and desperate and sorry for myself,
which I hate. The artwork started not on a conscious level at first, but
I approached my husband about the show and he was a little
apprehensive. But the artwork was happening already, and then we started
learning that there are so many families having to deal with this.
Three people just on our block have someone who has this disease. He’s
happy now because he thinks it helps remove the stigma. I hope with my
show, it can bring awareness, and people can educate themselves. If
Maurice and I knew more about it at the beginning, it wouldn’t have been
as hard. Hopefully people can avoid the mistakes we made. And I
encourage people to have something for themselves, in my case it was
art-making, because it really, really saved me.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reality of caring for someone with advanced Alzheimer's
is more insane than any work of fiction. I tried to convince myself that my
studio was my “happy place” and that art-making was my rescue. But my thoughts
all focused on the everyday experience of sharing an intimate space with
someone who is physically and mentally disabled. When the energy of denial
exhausted itself, I decided to embrace my reality and consciously navigate and
dedicate my creativity. Suddenly everything made sense. I stared and began to
see patterns in my artwork from the last five years—the time I have lived with
my mother-in-law. She became my model, and the body I watched and touched so
many times became an inspiration for the active studio process. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The work I have done for this project is only a tiny
expression of my experience which is as complex as it is difficult to define.
The verities of the materials speak to the endless cycle of care. Using different
media allowed me to work through different emotions. Clay, plaster, charcoal,
acrylic, wood, cloth, nails, lime, pigments among others learned to coexist. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are no words and there are no colors to represent the
tragedy of Alzheimer’s disease and the impact it has on people providing care.
But no matter what the subject is, for an artist, good form comes first.
Without a good form there is no content. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This show is a resolution: to decline to be a hero and
refuse to be a victim. Every piece contributed to my process of releasing
strong, repressed emotions as a caregiver, as a daughter-in-law and as a wife.
Preparation for this show provided relief and served as catharsis of all the
struggle and frustration.</div>

Resident Alien<br />
On view: April 28 - June 9, 2018<br />
<br />
GCCA’s gallery<br />
398 Main
Street, Catskill, NY<br />
The reception is free and open to the public.<br />
<br />
With all the talk of immigration in the news lately, Greene County
Council on the Arts (GCCA) has chosen to highlight some of the many
foreign-born artists who moved to the Hudson Valley. Artists were asked
to submit work that speaks to their original homeland, the journey to
their new homeland, thoughts about living in the US, the current
immigration conversation, or simply expresses something about
themselves. The fourteen selected artists present a collection of works
ranging from painting, sculpture, prints, poetry, and installation that
collectively provide fascinating insight into how artists integrate
their past with their present. <br />
<br />
Among two installations in <i>Resident Alien</i>
Maryna Bilak, originally from Ukraine, presents her ongoing work “Time to Gather Stones” which she started in
2012, when she moved to the U.S.A. The stone-like objects are actually
layers of found objects covered by <i>Papier</i>–<i>mâché </i>and
hand painted with acrylic. Maryna says, “They represent time capsules of
me living in America,” and the colorful patterns stand for memories
about her family in Ukraine. She currently lives and works in Hudson, NY
with her husband Maurice Haughton. <br />

<br />
It was a completely new experience for me as an artist and a private art teacher. <br />
I’m glad I agreed to be part of this event. This experience taught me so many things about society, health, relationships and parenthood. <br />
On my way back home to Hudson I contemplated a lot about my own life. And I realized how much me being an artist helps to overcome problems and issues which inevitably present themselves. <br />
The joy and satisfaction of art making brings us back home where it is safe and less painful to be human in this world. Home it is not a place, it is a feeling.<br />
Art bridges the gap between what is speakable and what is unspeakable.<br />
Art-making provides support when words alone cannot express the feelings of chaos.<br />
<br />
To all my artist friends, if you would like to volunteer and prepare you own art class and vision for women emergency shelter please contact my friend Ruby for further information. Phone: 4158878226<br />

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14.0pt;">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. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The physical act
involves our two bodies and the sculpture material, which from liquid transforms
into solid substance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14.0pt;">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. </span></div>
