The “JUG SERIES” have appeared as a result of my collaboration with poet and writer Jaclyn Piudik. Our project “For Rituals and Visuals” has been going through different stages – all of them fullfilling and inspiring for me.
The works in the “Jug series” so far have been created at the start of 2024 and I continue adding new pieces. Thay loosely reflect the impressions and colours of Gascony,where we briefly met with Jaclyn, in the summer of 2023.Importantly, they are result of our exchange of visuals and verses and their impact on our creative imagination.
These are cut outs compositions and collages, made of paper scraps from works, I have decided to discard and repurpose.In this process, I continue changing the imagery,painting and drawing on the surface, adding new layers of meaning. Jaclyn has written some beautiful short poems to pair with them.
