Several years ago I wrote a poem in which I commemorated my studio. I’ve never had a special room, hence I had to use what was available. Available was the kitchen, especially late at night. These days, upon my return to Moscow, I go there to work in daytime, too.
I don’t pay any particular attention to how I’m being photographed at work. I guess this is an indication of my real-life confidence, when I can either pose to the camera or ignore it, but either way not to feel fussy about someone trying to make a photo. And no, I don’t dress up for these pictures, so when you see me wearing bangles and earrings, this is how I do actually dress, even at home.
You will also see me in a picture that dates back to 1998; this one was a bit staged, although I don’t remember, why we wanted to make this photo. I used the top of my piano as the pulpit and did actually write a small poem.
