Cardboard Print on Fabric V by Julianna Ostrovsky

Cardboard Print on Fabric V, 2021, Julianna Ostrovsky.  Fabric ink, fabric, cardboard. Made during Julianna Ostrovsky's Artist Residency at Cardboard City.

Artist Statement: "Each of my work illuminates an idea; some works postulate and some simply records a visual thought, trailing behind fiction, shuffling after a blues song, creeping along a cinema. Opened wide even behind thin eyelids my eyes are conducting the way the fingers of the pianist conduct the color of music.  Process of painting; a stylus applied to some primordial surface; a rock or a wall, a canvas or nice sheet of paper, using the language I did not invent but am wearing out thin. I am determined to inscribe every scrap, just like the very breath counted out to me in eternity. Each of this works are peeled of the mold I bare with inn.  I would like to become made of two parts, the internal mold and the impression, my goal for the future. For now, I am embracing your embrace the inside out play space that is the world, a place for me."
