2010 - A Year At A Glance This project is constructed around the daily entries made in my appointment book for 2010. The imagery on each spread is built loosely around the text of my working schedule for each week of the year. Creating these shapes was a long meditative process similar with automatic dictation but avoiding any figuration. Using markers with colored ink and metallic gold and silver inks, the writing was gradually covered by layers of grids that resemble warped graphic representations of Space-Time continuum as in an attempt to capture the visual essence of the energy of that week. On most spreads appears a shadow drawing, generated by the ghost image seen through the paper from the drawing on the other side. Most of the drawings were made during my commute from home to my studio and back, occupying the so called idle time generated during traveling or different others periods of waiting. The main art work is the agenda with the original drawings accompanied by (an edition of five) 52 digital prints - 11" x 8.5" each - of the spreads corresponding to each week of the year. On the first edition each digital print is reworked with, again gold and silver metallic paint markers, the drawing going beyond the original format (7" x 7.5") until a satisfactory balance is achieved.

Award winning multi-media artist Sasha Meret was born in Romania in 1955, of Romanian and Russian parents. In his early years he lived in Moscow, Russia and later mostly in Bucharest, Romania. Since February 1987 he lives and works in New York City. From the very beginnings in his career as an artist he was ready to experiment with a wide range of materials and techniques. Painting, drawing, photography intersected with printmaking techniques like: intaglio, woodcut, aquatint or mono-type. Working in a variety of styles, from representational to abstract his imagery reflected his spiritual explorations, blending European, African, Asian, and esoteric symbolism in a highly personal visual language. He alternates figuration with abstraction in search for a balance between ideas and emotions. His main sources are his extensive readings on a wide variety of subjects as history, mythology, philosophy, literature and physics. In 2003 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. After the initial shock he rallied, refocused and sorted out his priorities and his work took a very different and surprising turn. Realizing that when he is in creative mode his PD symptoms practically disappeared, he became a workaholic. A combination of a large studio offered by a benefactor and very generous subsidy from one of his collectors allowed him to explore for several years working and experimenting in a variety of media without financial worries.This brought him a prestigious CODAvideo award for concept (https://www.codaworx.com/awards/video/2014/winners). His range of materials and techniques widened and sculpture/assemblages with found objects and photography became dominant in the recent ears. Keeping his body of work together for years allowed him to transform his studio into a continuously evolving Installation/Environment. In his work Meret tackles theories, concepts, and historical events, concurrently reversing perspective or reinterpreting facts until the world surrounding him becomes a little more reachable. He contemplates “If one removes sand grains one at a time, when does a heap of sand stop being a heap of sand?” and tests the wide concept of "change" and "transition". Often his works is an attempt to capture that elusive moment of transformation that is the fabric of what we call life. His approach to the creative process is a continuous search for new challenges.
