Expressing your way with materials and texture by Alena Rogozhkina in Edinburgh

I 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.
