I will be very happy to find your response to the thoughts shared on this blog, particularly those referring to your personal experience concerning the areas of life dealt with here.

Questions concerning artists’ lives like:
How are we, artists accepted by our home country?
What do we do for living?
How often does an artist decide to have a family? If not, why not?
What is the main income of an artist?
My decision to be an artist has, in the first part of my life, given me the experience of walking on the edge – a constant existential insecurity

What can I say. I've been active in the arts for a long time. Mixed styles... they call it multimedia or intermedia art... perhaps it would be more suitable to say: "know your way around!"

About me

I am an artist from Slovenia and have been active in this field for about 20 years.

Last year I gave birth to a son, Adam.

Having no partner, I got pregnant by artificial insemination in a country that forbids single women to become mothers to test-tube babies.
In a situation that required a decision whether to follow the law or listen to myself, I chose the latter and made a step against the law.

The procedure prescribed by the National Health and Social Security (and paid by the state up to the age of 43) only allows artificial insemination to couples - but I had no partner.

Everything happening to me since, brought about questions about the number of things prompted to us by our awareness that we do not do either because the state or society prevent us from doing them in one way or another.

On this basis I decided to start building a space where the very things dictated to us by our awareness can manifest even when they are forbidden by law.

They are not acts against, but pro-NEWNESS deeds.

Awareness decides upon the next move.

For there are many things that were thought to be right – but they are wrong. And there are many things that were thought to be moral – but they are not.
