All These Things (2021)
SCS Centar-Jadro, Skopje, North Macedonia
All These Things is a pencil-on-paper study of a condensed still life which depicts objects intertwined from my exuberant daily routines. Inspired by David Hockney’s fax and xerox art from the mid-80’s, I wanted to transcribe my most common everyday point of view – my working table with curious objects scattered all around. The scale of the work is deliberately chosen to produce an image that seems quite overwhelming, but at the same time is rather light-hearted – created in a medium that resembles everyday life.
The idea of the work is to create a representation of what it looks like to live and work in pandemic conditions: a composition with a table, a computer, a cell phone, books, notes, drawing material, underwear, etc., is somehow an attempt to turn the view away from the world outside towards the world inside, but also a way to show these ordinary objects in a larger-than-life scale in all their underrated significance.
All These Things was produced for and exhibited within the Overcoming Art exhibition – a series of three exhibitions taking place in Skopje, Zagreb and Edinburgh curated by Angela Vitanovska and Ivana Samandova, and produced by Jon Blackwood and Bojan Ivanov. The exhibition catalogue is available on this link.
Series of pencil drawings on paper – scanned, digitally edited, and printed to 90 digital prints on pink paper (21 x 29,7 cm, each); composed and mounted directly on wall, 210 x 267 cm.
