The dark dog days at winter’s end have never felt more full of life.I observed thelandscape around Xenia teeming with life: oak, beeches, great bounty of berries: blackthorn, crab apples, dog rose, and great diversity of birds they attracted, local wintering ones, chubby pheasants, wood pigeons, red kites and the migrants from north and east:redwing thrushes, brumbling finches and brant geese…
For a site-specific representation, with the branches from the oldest oak tree, berries, leaves from the grounds, and flour doughI built a bird-shaped maquette for my painting reference.Using bread as a making material was something I wanted to come back to since we last made these ritual bird-buns with the East London and Ukrainian communities as part of a socially engaged project commissioned by UCL last winter. The lark-shaped bird buns are made at this time of the year as a fun way to shake off the winter dread. In response to Xenia’s local diversity of resident speciesmy bun-maquette took on more pheasant and kite-like shape, and acquired holm oak and ivy leaf “leaf feather” armour.
I am infinitely grateful for this time refuge to Bianca and the whole Xenia team and for the precious artistic space, time and focus to create.

I am planning to go offline for a few weeks for the rest of the harvest season to focus on gathering seeds for next year.
These are the last bits of painting in the studio that got the least love from me somehow.Airing it out here for a bit to get fresh perspective.

In Ukrainian word for July is Липень translating into “the one full of linden”. For this July sprite I picked the linden blossoms from a tree by the entrance to Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge when I tried to catch Magda and Lubaina’s show there.
