About The Artwork
Why dry orange rind? For several reasons, oranges, i.e. their juice, were remains of breakfast, part of everyday life, something one does not note. Until through a system of associations and a shift of context, something available generated symbols, suggestions, an impulse to create, or, rather, to transform. This occured while I was about to reach for other ideas which in turn entailed funding, technical equipment, sponsors, i.e. additional activities which usually counteract creative impulse. Orange rind was right there, under my nose, and thus more true, for there was no need to whitewash reality, it was there in its authentic form. I only had to follow my sequence of thoughts and create new images and meanings out of them. It was a good feeling making somethig out of “nothing“. Pores of orange rind, especially when dry, remind of human skin, its tissue, i.e. the inside part which remains within after it has been squeezed and dried also reminds of human tissue. Some rinds contain dry greenish mold, some have turned brown from drying, some are moth-eaten. Convex–concave (layout) is a male-female principle. Fixed on a wall, they become sculptural. The Orange Rind Drier is the invisible protagonist of this ambinece. His absurd activity of drying and fixing orange rind on a wall and of planning its further positions, is the role of putting experience in order, and of using it. Concurrently it is a human role. However, nainling calls up other associations and so do the holes.

Croatia
I was born on the 3rd of August 1971. in Zagreb, Croatia. In Zagreb I also finished School Of Applied Art and Design, and graduated sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts 1995th. Now I live and work in Zagreb as an independent freelance artist what just to mean balancing between time to work unconditionally and time to work for honorariums. That honorariums work implied various kind of jobs, from photography, set design, restoration, working as a professor, an employee in the art gallery, to translations etc.. I'm aware that not attaching to any job enabled me the "constancy" in living in another parallel world where my spirit runs free. Recently I decided to live from my art only. Will I succeed because I decided so? Let's see that adventure happen. I am currently working on sculptures ~ spatial drawings for my solo exhibition "žParallel" in April of the 2012th Zagreb, Croatia, Gallery Matice hrvatske. Cycle Parallel is three-dimensional spatial drawing autobiography. In recent years I'm discovering about the truth of Buddha's statement that man is his own light, but I'm also discovering about mutual interweaving of all and everything in the universe. My revelations are as much intimate as universal. As we breathe in and out always the same molecules of air for millennia, thus in endless recycling we share experiences of all those who were and of all those that will be. From thick to thin as a thread, wire is braided and sewn. 'Two', 'Two Moons' and 'Parallel' are defined by number 2, number of pair and duality - the law of polarity is principle of the universe. What acts as opposite, actually are two extremes of the same thing. Two in 'Two' ~ woman and her shadow are pair of opposites within the same being - she is walking by stepping on her own shadow ~ light and shadow are two poles of the same world. Two Moons in 'Two Moons' can both be illusions, and reality lies in a third Moon. Light of stars and depth of sky is a state of mind ~ freedom is a state of mind even when physical space is a prison without windows and doors like here, and when the moon is just a hole in the ceiling through which light enters, and perhaps someone's view. View / Moon is doubled in the reflection because prison floor hides a mirror turning a prison into a temple of of celestial infinity .
