Thank you, Masaki!

“The modest Rose”, a zine made in collaboration with graphic artist Dovile Puzinaite aka That Sugar Beet.
 
The idea of the process was that we would send each other images and would play with them; a quick bounce ping pong.
For my images, I’ve visually interpreted William Blake’s poem “The Lilly” (as it is one of my favourite poems):

The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,
The humble sheep a threat’ning horn:
While the Lily white shall in love delight,
Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.


Displayed and sold at:
“Handmade and Bound” at St. Bride Foundation in London, 18th November, 2012.
“LENTYNA” (Self publishing art event) at National Gallery of Art in Lithuania, 19th–20th June, 2012.

I watch them from time to time and think about everything.
Will I ever read a newspaper at 6am and wave the golf stick towards an invisible golf ball?
Will I ever worry about it or just ignore it and pretend to be deaf?
Will I ever have some courage to say ‘fuck off everyone’?
Will I ever get that old?
Will I ever kick the bucket?
I undo the buttons of my shirt and press myself up against the window.

When I was a child I had a dream
to become a cosmonaut and fly
into the outer space.

I’ve never told it to anyone because
it was embarrasing.

I used to hear people talking about
Valentina Tereshkova,
the first woman cosmonaut.

‘Valentina Tereshkova, pull your pants
down and lay down!’

There was a rumour that her mission was
to research a human reproduction chance
and to entertain men far away from the
Blue Planet.

At the age of 7 I suffered a variety of
lung problems and my cosmic plans had
to be forgotten.

Now I know that a woman’s life on Earth
is very much similar to
the space mission.
