A simple drawing, as a rule, is a reminiscent of bearing banners or extraction of minerals in surface mining. It is like an expedition with its aim and a planned route… or it is like an ice breaker, or an orchard designed in a geometrical shape…
Graphic printing (for us) is more like a journey WITHOUT any GOALS… (Have Trees, Music or Constellations got any Goals!?..) All the more unpredictable wonders and discoveries, when the printing press is between our hands and the printing works, occur to be a mediator of breathing as a string, shaman’s membrane, and it occurs in the middle, as a heart?!..
We are closer to the practice of Friendship/Relative relationship of the ENVIRONMENT OF APPEREANCE, where there are no more important or less significant values, where all the participants are of equal worth.
All that we are engaged in is an ATTEMPT NOT TO DISTURB THE Universe with its presence. We are enough of CONFIDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP. We are enough of CERTAIN CONDITIONS (paper, paint, shapes)… and It comes / It happens.
It is sometimes complicated to give Name to That. An Incomprehensible Now and Then. The Field and the Place, where does it come from?.. and we like to be astonished.
In any case we are glad that Each new Work is Free from Our Dictate and Imposed Will.
We are Satisfied that we have ONLY made the Energy possible to manifest itself in the form of engraving!

( the lake - is neutral, but some try to make out of it (...or fire, or constellations...) a stuffed animal
in order to stuff it with sawdust, to hang up on a wall or to put on a bookshelf to let it become dusty
( the method is quite simple - merry walks as gifts-bundles -inflorescence of the sky, time, things, signal fires for landing, accidental - non-accidental forces, evaporated, light glides, the connection of ALL with the CONDITION of TRANSITION, as gifts from all the directions of the Light
( the research of a material of the GIST of EVENTS, synchronous navigations-homework, in the open (over and over again!) air... Not "names" as collation stations of "ends-beginnings", but "faith" that there is the PLACE for ALL, irrespective of
TECHNIQUES
( the practice is directed to transfer the EQUILIBRIUM from external (mechanical) to internal (natural) by means of movement-dissolution of separate shots-poles to the ENTITY of wave-beam-discovery-frontier to inhalation -exhalation... to SORT OUT the ENVIRONMENT and without looking back
( only CREATION of CONDITIONS for the MANIFESTATION... all that is really necessary seems to come without an effort, easily
