In what ways do you think your background and
experiences in Brighton and London have
influenced your development as an artist?
I tend to think that my solitary living in Ukraine gave me
the time to develop my creative visions, however, I’m
grateful to be here in the UK, because without all the
people I met in Brighton and London, I wouldn’t have
the ability to find any potential in my vision, the words
to describe what I was looking for. I’m still in the process
of finding my stability within the identity of an artist and
finding confidence within the art world, but my path is
much clearer now.

Part of the Diasporic Ether Eternal series
Diasporic Ether Eternal is a series of handbuilt ceramic objects that
serve as a habitat for the mind of the artist. These sculptures were
made in response to loneliness and struggling with finding a
connection to home. The 'ether' was created as a permanent home
for the soul of the artist, and now, the viewer too.
