Where Spectres Dance to Welcome Springtime, Olenna Mokliak
Lithograph
The place from which I make work is a land where possibilities are infinite. This is an imaginary world, one of hyper-reality, a location where absurdity is a source of freedom. I strive to connect with a residual energy and work to explore the images of my subconscious. Writing poetry and prose is an extension of this make-believe microcosm.
‘Now. Walking along a concrete-covered path where train tracks rested, the route through an intangible no-man’s-land of disintegrating history. Ghosts of engines howl. The intonation of this sound performs – a dancing spectre. In the black room where life once resided. Home. Borderless. This is my liminal wilderness.’
