ALEKSEY VAYNSHTEYN :: STATEMENT

 

        In my attempt to integrate art and life, my approach to the process of making art has taken on a peripheral quality. Treating art making like any other everyday activity, such as cooking or cleaning, allows me to make certain discoveries that are impossible under the constraints of a concept. The subconscious has a tendency of entering into one's work, like a Freudian Slip, when the mind is not focused enough to protect against it. The pieces that come out of this way of working are not the final product, but rather a remanence of the process. Confronted by one of my pieces, the viewer is given a small glimpse into the subconscious of a human mind. This glimpse doesn't reveal a whole lot, but is more of a peep hole, putting the viewer into the position of a voyeur, and allowing him/her the opportunity, if willing, to fill in some of the blanks, tapping his/her own subconscious reserves.
