ICOMPATIBILIA
The sculptor Ula Gogol in
the text describes their work as a search for form that is hidden in the
material and emerges from the chaos of matter. They are inspired by biological
structures, which they find to be fascinating for their ability to transform
under the influence of external factors. The sculptor's own emotions, fears,
and experiences also play a role in their work. The sculptor sees their work to
connect the inner and outer worlds, which they often find to be in conflict.
The final form of the sculpture reflects the sculptor's own internal struggle,
intertwined with biological fascination of the life constantly changing under
the influence of the external factors.
VISCUS
Long as viscus – short as my spine. What keeps me alive, can also
take me down. I eat not to live but to survive. I stand still not to be
visible, but not to beg the life on my knees for few more days of salvation. I
will save myself, I will reach salvation myself – I just need more time.
