Illustration ... or Something


I've been into this green moth world for quite a long time now. In spite of that I never stopped to think about what I was really doing. OK, it started as practicing watercolours, but I think it became having a life of its own somehow. A couple of months ago I visited Slovenian Biennial of Illustration. Just a day later M and I went to Villa Manin in Italy where we saw an exhibition of Lorenzo Mattotti's works. I found his comics and illustrations the most powerful and memorable. So, much later, while browsing through the Mattotti exhibition catalogue, I stopped to think what I was doing with the moths. I realised I've been sort of illustrating Lorca's Romance Sonambulo, the way I saw and felt it. I intentionally avoid using the word "understand", because it has nothing whatsoever to do with it. So, what now? Who knows ... I might do a kind of fan art zine in, say, ten copies ... or something ...

Že nekaj časa se potikam po svetu, kjer ni ničesar razen zelenih vešč. Ne glede na to, nikoli nisem pomislila zakaj to počnem. OK, začelo se je kot vaja v akvarelu, to vem, le da se mi zdi, da so te slike zaživele neko svoje življenje. Pred nekaj meseci sva z B obiskali Bienale slovenske ilustracije. Samo dan kasneje sva se z M-jem odpravila v Vilo Manin, kjer sva si ogledala razstavo del Lorenza Mattottija. Njegovi stripi in ilustracije so se mi zdeli zelo močni in so mi še dolgo ostali v mislih. Mnogo kasneje sem prelistavala katalog z razstave in nenadoma pomislila na svoje početje z veščami. Pravzaprav ilustriram Lorcovo Mesečniško romanco, tako kot jo sama vidim in čutim. Namenoma se izogibam izrazu "razumeti", saj nima prav nobenega pomena v tem kontekstu. Kaj zdaj? Kdo ve. Morda s pomočjo računalnika naredim neke vrste mini knjižico in jo na najbližjem fotokopircu naprintam v kakih desetih izvodih ... ali nekaj podobnega.
