I work in matter. Cuting it, hammering it, grinding it, polishing it.
I like to take from its rough body.
I work with air. Weaving it, wrapping it, enclosing it, building it in. In
the body it starts to breathe.
I work with time. It helps me to understand that I still should learn,
explore and thereby know.
I work on myself on the boundary between spirit and matter.
I get my inspiration from non-sensuous codes and change them into
tangible substances. Trying to put the abstract above the real and the
general above the particular through a play challenge of the senses. RAYA Georgieva
