Beautiful Pain
Paint on Paper
11" x 14"
"Many women experience extreme pain during their periods each month, but they accept the pain because they understand that it's not caused by someone else, it's not malicious, and it doesn't surprise them; and this makes all the difference." - Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses
Artist Statement:
I am fascinated with the idea that women accept the pain that comes from their monthly period simply because it is not malicious. It is common and accepted behavior for women to go about their day without any indication that they are truly in immense pain. I chose to dip a tampon in watered-down red paint and use it as a stamp. The repeated pattern speaks to how pain and suffering are often masked by a beautiful exterior.

Spatial Blueprint of the USSR
17" x 12" x 0.5"
Balsa Wood, Thread, Ink.
Kazakhstan is a country in Central Asia that used to be part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. After the collapse of Soviet Union, Kazakhstan declared itself fully independent public on December 16, 1991.
I used the yurt to represent country of Kazakhstan, then I used the elements of the Kazakhstan Flag such as flying eagle under the sun and painted on the top of the yurt that creates a focal point of the blueprint. The size of the yurt and specific place represent the Kazakhstan republic compared to Russian Federation which I painted as the Russian Flag. The blue balsa strips represent the rivers that cross the border of Kazakhstan/Russia. The same is true for the railroad form.
