The Beadworkers Guild 13th Annual Challenge., 2012, May
Web Site: http://www.beadworkersguild.org.uk
This competition is open to members of The Beadworkers Guild only. (UK)
Theme of the contest (the nomination): ‘It’s all in the game’.
From the very birth we play games. They penetrate all our life. For me my art is also a kind of game I play with the world, a "glass bead game". I am trying to tell the world what I actually feel. Everyone knows that in any game, a win is the most exciting moment. That's the aim of any competition. My work "Bouquet of Chrysanthemums" represents a victory, a prize. When I was making it, I was thinking about the coming Olympic Games, how many wins and flowers for the winners it will bring, and that sometimes different moments in our life are so magically linked together, as if it was all in the same game.Exhibition Hall "Pechatniki" "The World of Flowers", Moscow (Russia), 2012, 27/04-20/05
