Eleni is rusty knife four and she answers Yes. I had an eccentricity and a lack of social adaptability during younger age. Due to this I was quite isolated and deprived of intimacy and warm human relationships. I managed to soften this specific quality of myself getting the example of more adaptable and sociable people but at the same time I realized that some of my eccentric ideas maybe would be useful to other people as well. From now on I feel gratitude for the infinite imagination and original thinking that I have. ABOUT THE COLLECTION " Rusty Knives" There are some gifts, which appear as such from the beginning. Somebody has beauty, another has talent in languages, math, arts, etc. It's obvious that this kind of qualities are gifts for a person helping one to have better, full life. But also there are those named mishaps, suffering, disasters. Painful conditions. If such conditions are met at childhood, pain can last for years, even for ever. These old wounds are rusty knifes. 'Rusty' for old and 'knife' for wound. One' s knife image has an intense, hard impact to the viewer but here, through art, a transubstantiation of this “knifal” energy is being attempted. Perhaps fear and detestation related to the knife, can be transformed to a belief that these knifes are bringing presents as well. Maybe a little bit hidden ones, but still, valuable. Eight knifes are presented into a mixed media technique that combines painting, sewing, and ready or recycled objects. The whole compositions are posed into diy framing constructions. Each art work is accompanied by a text making it specific and unique, for each knife, both the disaster and the gift. It's about the answers of 8 people to same question.
