Like a lot of people on the planet being in forced isolation i reflect on what the world looks like in which people are locked at their homes. «Without us» is a series of dangerous objects that metaphorically illustrate the idea of the sterile world. This is a frozen allusion the the changes that are taking place. A certain idea of what the planet looks like without a person and his movements. In my opinion such a world shines with whiteness. At the same time it’s fraught with the danger, attract with beauty and also capable of hurting it. Non-faceted fragments from different stained glass integrated into an old tile. There are literally dangerous objects that can not be thoughtless touched. With all their looks they tell us about the importance of maintaining awareness in the face of ambiguous beauty.

My works reflects on current global processes, translate personal perception of the present and memories. Currently I investigate the issue of reuse of surrounding objects and garbage.

A surge of fear, an explosion of thought, and arriving on the edge of a verge of a vision is where the Covid-19 pandemic has left me. Capsized in waves of emotion, I, conversely later, found myself grounded in my work. My work catapults itself into completion only after it has been destructed by sanding abrasions, flooded with turpentine, and slashed into with sharp objects. These verbs inherently have brutal connotations; however, they are what bring forth new imagery and are what supply exhilarating breath to the compositions that I create. This verge of vision, this analogy for life, is the safety net that I cling to and carry with me always.

Pastel, watercolour crayons, coloured pencils, charcoal on paper, 42x59,4 cm, 2020.

I took the brief as a verge to what the future can be. I wanted to display a peak through a window of the potential of something fun to look forward to.

The colours and marks have been faded and erased as it is fragile and can may change over time. I'm always looking for a line and new way to make a mark, like I'm always on the verge to something not seen. I wonder what the vision of the future can be.

User desktop (serias) «…painting was perhaps an instrument of knowledge but it was also an instrument of possession» (Claude Lévi-Strauss) We can only see what we look at. To look is an act of choice.( John Berger) Advertising offers to look at what we potentially can own. Famous car manufacturers called their products the names of the fair sex as long ago as men's magazines showed candid photographs of women with the same names.

A modern user can potentially own both just placing the image on the desktop of the smartphone.

‘Helmonit Yeruham - Yellow Flora’ 8 x 10 inches. Colored pencils on paper March 2020

‘Blue Flora’. 8 x 10 inches. Colored pencils on paper March 2020

I've chosen to submit my work to you because I feel the theme ‘Verge of Vision’ speaks to exactly what i'm going through in my creative practice these days. I hail from Israel, I’m about 8000 km away from my home, and the only thing I have left from home are my memories from my childhood and my visits from a few years back. In these memories, I hold a great connection. However, I find as I begin to create and imagine my homeland all I can see in my imagination are vague memories of flowers in my grandma’s garden and flora from different places I lived in back in Israel. Although I don’t have a clear memory of these images or flowers or which place exactly they’re from, it’s because they are now a part of me and who I am. On top of each flora, I drew these Essence shapes. They are remnants of memories, pieces of me that I choose to portray as small shapes next to my drawings. They encompass how I remember, it's mostly by colors and how I interacted with the color. Before I have a visual of the memory itself, it's all color.

«39». 18 x 14 cm (7 x 5,5“), coloured pencil on paper, 2020

«42». 18 x 14 cm (7 x 5,5“), coloured pencil on paper, 2020

These are my currently feelings: crushed, bored and frightend with a view to the future. On some days, I can feel a strange edge, from where I can't see further and I miss my friends, go to dance and sharing joy.

I hope, especially through art, to be able to regain things I'm missing.

That's why I like to paint friends and people dancing, which is what I miss the most. I continue working, I especially enjoy smaller formats at the moment. The paper I'm using is only 18 x 14 cm. So, all of these feelings flow into my work. These 3 drawings are about visions that two people share and no one else can see. They are sharing hope and their fears.

Constant body monitoring and selfie culture create a large amount of information necessary for analysis. Sometimes information creates glitches in reality. I look at my shadow, edges and borders, this is my new anatomy. I can become something, a few parts from me, a few part from the outside world. What is this painting of light on the wall, is it a portrait or landscape, is this shape an object or subject?

As I'm interested in queer subkulture, questions of the moral of beauty and sex, I've decided to watch at thim theme from my side. I asced myself: "What beauty hides?". What hides beside big lashes, cat-eyes and other? Maybe it's a man, or maybe it's a monster? Or maybe it's just a evil woman, who has a nasty ideas about you. Why not?

«Add layer mask 1». Online photo media installation, 2020

My work presentes online as a reflection of the Covid-19 crisis. The series is a hand-in for my last year studying fine arts [Term 1]. The idea behind the ‘online exhibition’ is to allow as many people to view the work as possible and also the work is present is a way I can control so the viewers' experience isn’t affected (since educational idustions are currently shut down in New Zealand.) The series ‘Add Layer Mask1’, shows three photographs of three different sculptures. The sculptures show a white door cabinet with layered polystyrene packaging found in residential areas near constructions. The sculptures highlight the pollution residential construction is causing. While the background image visually sends the packaging back to its original locations.

Eva Shorina

ÂŤVerge of VisionÂť online exhibition 1-20th of May, 2020.

I created my works in order to awaken the state of gnosis in people - a deep comprehension of our own soul and the world around us. This is a joint effort of the artist and the observer, similar to unfolding the Tarot cards: the cards are rich in mystical, occult and cultural references, thanks to which the fortuneteller, through his associations, gains access to previously closed parts of the unconscious.

This explains the detail and density of the images in the drawings - they are designed for a long and calm looking, as in meditation. In a sense, they are designed for lovers of spiritual art, but they also have a healthy postmodern irony with references to biblical subjects, Sartre, Lynch, Kraut Rock and old movie posters. I try to leave a lot of room for free interpretation, so that each viewer feels free in the space of possible interpretations, using the drawings as ingenious tools to explore their hidden capabilities.

‘HOUSING NORMATIVE CONSTRUCTS’ «Housing normative constracts».

Acrylics and oil pastels on stretched canvas, 16x20 incches, 2020

UNGLORIFY THE NORMALISED CONSTRUCTS, our women have been perpetually trapped and disabled as homemakers for as long as one can trace the history. In today’s time one is still advocating for recognition of their tiring, endless work as crucial to the economic growth.

Wheelchair is symbolic to disability as a social construct; rest of the objects trace their existence in Indian society and life of homemaker. The glorified idea of women as best multitaskers has done them unimaginable harm. Even in the early feminist is argued to be fight of comparatively privileged excluding diversity of women.

My motive is to start the conversations for homemakers’ rights, mental and physical health, breaking the silence around this.

I think, in these times of quarantine we all are getting a good understanding of how mentally, emotionally and physically challenging it is to stay at home each day, every day like our homemakers. The painting hides number of ironies and symbols. In context with the theme, I see the world being on the verge of vision, foresight. The world of binaries is being challenged everyday banging hard on patriarchy.

Virus / mask 1 / nowhere (60 * 80), 2020 Virus / mask 2 / unsub (80 * 100), 2020 Virus / mask 3 / cross (80 * 100), 2020

The virus provokes the destruction of old system. It evokes not only changes in the material world (on societal level), but also provokes the inner reconstruction (inside every person). THe panic is around us. It seem like the world is going mad outside everyones door. I am isolating not only from the really existing danger, but also from madness, anxiety and pressure. I am framing the situation in which the society lives now. In this project I would like to show the difference between the inner and the outer states.To achieve this aim, I needed to destroy the untouched surface of the canvas. The search of new ways of painting provokes violation of traditional techniques and disappearance of harmony.When paintings are finished they start to belong to the environment and disappear in it. Environment literally penetrates into the painting, fill the «empty spaces», and transfers some of its qualities. It means that in every other place the painting will be different. But at the same time each «infected» canvas contains its own state, these are not just faceless «frames». These are the masks of reality.
