KSENIA VOY KHENINEN
artist
The aim of my work is to externalise my mind-space via my artworks - "mind ikebanas”, that assemble fragments of deconstructed selves, memories, emotional and societal debris that are represented by a variety of random materials and other elements. They form tangible expressions of a non-linear, inner reality mirroring mental and emotional landscapes of the Other.
In my work I am exploring the unpredictable nature of found inconspicuous objects, some rarities, and various recycled materials. I am taking elements out of context and making my own (un)common sense. From the abstract perspective the tangible elements are representative of the pieces that were gained in the result of mental and emotional deconstruction and fragmentation
Abstract mind space becomes a physical space that can be shared and cause a shift by giving the spectator an opportunity to relate or not, empathise or not, but most importantly face something that usually exists outside of their reach, locked behind the normalcy.
