Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

I work with visuals and text, and try to keep them simple and unpretentious, yet intriguing and engaging. My projects are filled with humor and the absurd, and mainly tell personal stories – of war and home, loneliness, overthinking, cruelty and beauty.

My process consists of walking around the room while talking to myself, a lot of planning and writing, and a little bit of drawing.

Some of my recent projects are a hidden-objects painting of a refugee camp i lived in, a collaborative zine about guilt and shame, and a visual story of my relationship with my backpack.

GlogauAIR Project

The main thing I’ll work on is about artifacts. I come from Ukraine, where many people (for various reasons) have hoarder tendencies, stockpiling all kinds of things for decades. I think i got this from my grandpa. But while in his case it’s bolts and radio stuff, for me, it’s abandoned toys or funny details i pick from the streets.

I like to imagine their stories before me. A lot of these things get a new story – my story – of people and places around me. Some artifacts carry stories that made me who i am.

I want to create the foundation of what could become a lifelong project: an encyclopedia of my artifacts – an art book, a physical fragile object i would have to update and take care of forever.
