Hannah Arendt and the banality of evil (2016-2018) is based on the

Arendt’s highly controversial banality-of-evil thesis, in her

“Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of evil

(1963). It examines Arendt’s notion of evil as ‘thought defying’.

The fragile portrait of Hannah Arendt, as a young German

philosopher, has been a starting point for

creation of the series of female portraits Verus (2016)

contemplating the theme of truth, (verus: true, Lat.).

Part of the suits of lithographs Verus (2016), the lithograph

Anonymous soldier, is based on a photograph of Lam Thi Dep,

a Viet Cong soldier who fought in the Vietnam war.

It represents part of my on-going research into the subject of

women fighters. The title is paradoxical as the women fighter

has a published name, but the anonymous in the title questions

her true identity.

The work Macedonian worker (2016), is homage to

all the immigrant Macedonian women who have worked

in Australia for decades. On many occasions I have

interpreted for these women, in my work as an interpreter,

and the words ‘Bosses no like talk’ were uttered by the

women portrayed, as an answer to the question during a

Work Cover Conciliation Conference.

The work examines the relationship between the subjective experiences of motherhood and the societal and cultural pressures. The content deals with the traditionally idealised portrayal of motherhood (“breast-feeding is bliss”), coloured with the darker aspects, such as: underlying fears and anxieties evoked by the perceived fragility of the baby (“I’m a bad mother, I can’t even feed my baby”). The text is drawn from my own experience, the work of psychoanalysts D.W. Winicott ( concept of ‘good enough mother’ ), M. Klein ( good breast/bad breast) and advice from the maternal and health professionals- "feed, play, sleep". Viewers are confronted with the multiple and potentially conflicting messages that the mothers try to reconcile.

“Naming the names” consists of number of female names in different scripts and languages.

The most personal aspect of this process was recording the female names in my maternal family (Афродита and Параскева, my great-grand mothers names are in Cyrillic script).

I have included four of Freud and Breuer’s famous female patients (such as a pseudonym Anna O).

Female names have been sourced from both ancient and modern historical stories (Магделена, Сирма, Sophia).

Ophelia and Julia are just few of very well known romantic and tragic heroines from the literature.

Some names are homage to women who have been victims of "honour" killing or rape by man in countries like Pakistan (Mukhtar).

Names of contemporaries (psychotherapist Jane C. and art curator and theorist Suzana M.) have also been included.

This linoprints are part of a series based on hundreds of drawings made of women while undergoing hypnosis at Salpetriere, believed at the time to be cure for hysteria. In the linoprints Hypnosis and Séance, based on the drawings from Bourneville, we see a dominant image of a male doctor, the woman-patient is portrayed as submissive, surrendering and vulnerable. I was very much interested in the whole theatrical aspect of these sessions as many women were coached to present certain symptoms.
