It seems that part of being an artist in today’s world is being good at presenting who you are. That requires making choices – deciding what nuances distinguish you form others and how they came about. This exercise is bound to expose conflicts within one’s self (and therefore one’s work), it is these glimpses of conflicts that can make a work magnetic to others.
This quote seems to describe today’s creative employment field well:
“Difference is highlighted, distinctiveness is valued, exclusiveness defined.”[i]

About Me
- Anya
- I'm a Russian girl whose home has somehow become New Zealand. I started this blog to record the journey of discovery of the nature of my practice I set out on while completing my Ba Des. in Interior (some times called Interior Architecture). It is a field which also seems to have trouble defining its self in its youth. Here I aimed to find a wholistic view which included my work, opinions and other practitioners I identify with. Please don't hesitate to leave your comments.
