Artist Stories

Kontraktova in November

One warm color per layer—that was the rule. I put vermilion where the market comes alive, even when it's drizzling. The copper roofs: a memory of my childhood in Podil. As it dried near the radiator, the sheet rippled; I decided to keep the ripple—the city isn't flat.

Stress in Color

Post-alert week workshop. Khrystyna transformed fatigue into a light map. Three readings by town crier are planned.
