Response: Artworks
Malakasioti's work is so moving. The poetry, the imagery, the pondering over the passage of time, the agonizing observance of geological time vs human time. We are here for such a short period of time, as humans, and geological process stretch out across millennia. 98 years for 10 mm of topsoil to accumulate.
I weep for the continued disasters-- Malaksioti's work is inspired by 2023 floods in Greece, while now, just weeks ago, we watched the horrific flooding in Valencia (2024).
I think you are thinking about this film of the night sky I've been working on. I'm fascinated by the slowness and also the business of space. I guess it too is a way to try to comprehend time and our place within it. And I am thinking about your watercolours.
