Notes


Amazing is a solvable maze constructed of tens of thousands of handwritten words.

The artist 'Handwritten Art' created this work as a metaphor to our existence which involves a maze of decision making and pathway finding. It comes out of a long held interest in puzzles which was ignited as a child by her grandmother where together they would while away the hours with puzzle books. The work is a tribute to these simpler times, a time when life required very little decision making and it was easy to be absorbed in the joy of a puzzle.

Handwritten Art is interested in eco-systems; in the role of an individual in a larger system. The use of handwriting exemplifies the important role of each character in the wider story. She explains that "working in black and white speaks to my love of contrast, polarity, and absolutes. I try to keep a minimal aesthetic to hold space for the viewer."

Olha Stepanian's photography draws on the aesthetic of fashion photography and of Dada and Surrealist photography, like that of Man Ray and Claude Cahun.  Her crisp black and white work are striking in their simplicity and bold in their composition and overall design. This comes from a process of sketching out her ideas before a photoshot.   “Every photograph is a separate story. I look for props and costumes among friends, though it’s easy to find clothes in thrift shops and alter them to fit the model (here my seamstress training comes in handy). I love details, and it is these details that sometimes give birth to an interesting storyline."
