I'm on my way Home

Having been on haitus from the studio for the past two years I thought perhaps to make my reappearence here, as I will be returning home to America in about 7 weeks. I have been keeping another blog about my adventures with the Peace Corps in Ukraine but now I think it is a good time to segue back onto the studio blog.

I haven't had a lot of time to do any work in Ukraine (other than Peace Corps work, that is), but I did manage to keep up with the Cultural Book Exchange and following are a few pages I have worked on since I have been at my site in Novomoskovsk. All of the work I have finished here is based on the concept of language. I have had a difficult time learning Russian and it is perhaps the hardest thing about living in Ukraine. Not being very good at the common language in one's own community can leave a person feeling isolated and to combat this feeling I created these pages in order to express and overcome my frustration. I call this work "BabelRuss"
