from the series "Nesting-doll's Masks"
This is a very happy thing. This is a stone, I found it on the Black Sea coast. And this is not just a stone, it is also called the Chicken God. That is, it is a stone with a natural, created by nature itself, a hole carved by water. The ancient sages believed that good spirits live in these holes, which protect their owner and bring him good luck. This stone itself created by nature amulet
In addition, they say that if you look through this hole at the sun, you can improve your eyesight, and develop vision with your third eye.
I am a very happy person, every time I go to the sea, I always find one or even several of these stones. And since I live on the Black Sea coast in Odessa, it is almost daily. Thus, I have accumulated a lot of them, a full house of Happiness.
People talk about time, describing its properties, that there is a time to collect stones, and there is a time to scatter. Right there in this art object "Nesting-doll-stone" the Golden Mean of time is played out. Right there in this art object "Nesting-doll-stone" the Golden Mean of time is played out, here the time is not for collecting stones, not for scattering them, here is that visual model of the time when masks are put on the stones. Here they come such Golden times, times when we can put masks on stones, accelerating their nature, enhancing meanings.
When I made my object "Nesting-doll-book" (Inner-Mongolian)" and put a ritual Mongolian mask on the nesting-doll, and I saw how the idea of fractality shudders, intensifies, from this ritual-mask dressing. At that moment, I thought how much it is possible to strengthen an already powerful object of power, a talisman, by doing the opposite action, putting on a nesting-doll mask ,fractality itself with its endless, hologram essence of nesting doll.
In addition, the matryoshka is similar in shape to an egg, a symbol of the birth of a new life, a new time. or even a symbol of immortality, if we recall Koshchei the Immortal with his egg, in which the needle giving the owner immortality.
Putting a nesting-doll mask on a stone, in fact, a situation is created when the stone turns into a nested doll, and the nested doll turns to stone, and the nesting-doll petrifies, the idea of the Nesting-doll, the idea of fractality, becomes petrified, time slows down and crystallization. And all this turbulence is in our head.
However, nesting-doll, as a visual sign turns into a stone-amulet, within which there is a huge potential, coming from its multiplicity and possibilities for expansion. It turns out that you have not one amulet, but an infinite number of those, owning only one.
And yet you own the sun. Because when I find the Chicken God, I immediately connect it to the ☀ sun, which I look at through a hole in it. It turns out that this is a ritual of peeping at the sun, as through a keyhole in a door, where the door is a stone, And this is exactly the case when the Golden Key to the door to happiness is the door itself. Now, when the Chicken God is wearing a Nesting-doll mask, this peeping turns into an endless observation of the sun, through the very fact of fractality.
Fractality becomes a door and at the same time an observation tube, and this observation generates light with great force, and this observation generates light with great power, and turns the visual sign of art into a luminous lever for playing with light, forces and meaning.
Это очень счастливая вещь. Это камень, я нашла его на берегу Чёрного моря. И это не просто камень, его ещё называют - Куриный Бог. Т. е. это камень с естественной, созданной самой природой, выточеной водой дырочкой. Древние-мудрецы верили, что в этих дырояках живут добрые духи, которые оберегает своего владельца, приносят ему удачу. Этот камень сам по себе созданный природой оберёг. К тому же говорят, что если смотреть сквозь эту дырочку на солнце, то можно улучшить свое зрение, и развить у себя видение третьим глазом.
Я очень счастливый человек, каждый раз когда я хожу на море, я нахожу обязательно один или даже несколько таких камней. И так как я проживаю на берегу Чёрного моря в г. Одессе, то это почти ежедневно.
Люди говорят о времени, описывая его свойства, что есть время собирать камни, а есть время разбрасывать. Тут же в этом артобъекте "Камень матрёшка" отигрывается Золотая Середина времени, тут время не для собирания камней, не разбрасывания, тут та визуальная модель времянини, когда на камни надевают маски. Вот они пришли такие Золотые времена, времена когда мы можем надевать на камни маски, ускоряя их природу, усиливая смыслы.
Когда я делала свой объект "Книжку-матрешку (внутрене-монгольская)" и надевала на матрешку ритуальную монгольскую маску, и видела как содрагается идея фрактальности, усиливается, от этого ритуально-масочного переодевания. В этот момент я подумала, насколько можно усилить и так мощный предмет силы оберег, совершив обратное действие, надев на него маску Матрешки, саму фрактальность с её бесконечной, голограмной сутью матрешки. К тому же матрёшка по форме похожа на яйцо, символ рождения новой жизн, нового времени, или даже на символ бесмертия, если вспомнить Кощея Бессмертного с его яйцом, в котором игла дающая владельцу бесмертие.
Надевая на камень маску матрешки, фактически это создаётся ситуация, когда камень превращается в матрешку, а матрёшка каменеет, каменеет идея Матрешки, идея фрактальности. Происходит кристализация, замедление времени. Причём вся эта турбулентность у нас в голове. Однако Матрёшка, как визуальный знак превращается в камень-оберёг, внутри которого огромный потенциал исходящий от её множетвенности, и возможностей для расширения. Получается, ты обладаешь не одним оберегом, а бесконечным множеством таковых, владея всего одним.
И при этом ты ещё и владеешь солнцем ☀. Т. к. когда я нахожу Куриного Бога, я сразу соединяют его с ☀ солнцем, на которое я смотрю через дырочку в нем. Получается это ритуал подглядывания за солнцем, как через замочную скважину в двери, где дверь это камень. И это именно тот случай, когда Золотой Ключик от двери в счастье, и есть сама дверь. Теперь же когда Куриный Бог в маске Матрешки, это подглядывание превращается в бесконечное наблюдение за солнцем, через сам факт фрактальности. Фрактальность становится дверью и одновременно наблюдательной трубой, а само наблюдение с огромной силой генерит свет, и превращает визуальный знак искусства в светоносный рычаг для игр со светом, силами и смыслом.
