A smoking woman, ink & digital, 2012 by Robin Pae

“When I was a girl I fell in love with darkness. The tools I work with-pen, ink, fine knives and clay-became natural choices for someone drawn to observe and record the world in close detail, and to best orchestrate the balance between opposing forces. Through the exploration of symbolic narrative imagery, carved into earth’s clay; I speak to relationships that are intrinsic, permeating through human experience. I rely on intense contrasts of tone and imagery to form dualities of interconnectedness, observing the equilibrium all species are challenged to establish m in a world of constant change.”

Note:
Recognizing the potential of things from the environment and giving them a new meaning is what Emir Šehanovic does in his work. For his series ‘Zumra’ he used old photos, that appealed him and which he finds in his surroundings, both digital and physical. Using them as a starting point Šehanovic begins to manipulate them. Following almost classical forms of collages, assemblages, he finds the simplest and most effective way of transforming them. He uses already existing elements and upgrades them. Various superstitious customs and ritual elements that surround him have also a great impact on his work, merging all together in an artistic dialogue, resulting in his multiple collages.
