My week will no doubt be insane because I am installing my the­sis exhi­bi­tion at MICA’s Stu­dio Cen­ter. My project (and newest endeav­or), eyra, will be trans­lat­ed from the web to a phys­i­cal space. I will have more details about the open­ing for you later.

Okay! Enough about that. These paint­ings are by Alek­san­dra Wal­iszews­ka and make me stop in my tracks to exam­ine how both mys­te­ri­ous and dis­turb­ing they are. I can’t turn away despite feel­ing uneasy about their grotesque beau­ty and blood and death-rid­den scenes. I’m very intrigued.
