Creeping - Fading memories by Alena Rogozhkina in Edinburgh
Creeping - Fading memories
This print is a part of Fading Memories series - a personal body of work about Alena’s family home in Ivanovka, a small village in Donbas, Eastern Ukraine, that has become a military base. Alena developed a unique process that involved scraping rust flakes from abandoned objects found across Edinburgh and scattering them onto screenprinted images from her time at home. The rust stuck to the clear acrylic medium, bringing the photos to life. The body of work is fragile and the prints will disintegrate with time, exactly the way Alena wants her pain to fade away…

Meet the Artist
Edinburgh, United KingdomI am an Edinburgh based visual research artist driven by art, contemporary spirituality and community wellbeing. I link both my background in behavioural science and contemporary art practice to explore what limits us as humans to have a better everyday reality. I work with a range of mediums including installation. printmaking, painting, photography and moving image. My practice is focused on experimentation with materials focusing on intuitive art process of creation. I often collect abandoned objects that lost their identities. They usually attract me either for their texture, shape or colour and then I abstract their lives into new stories. I also love sharing my practice with people and co-creating together. I run workshops and creative experiences to help communities to express their true emotions and find who they are if there is a challenging transition in their lives.
