Author: Ruznic, Maja
Maja Ruznic invokes the profundity of shadows with her palette, evidencing the beauty and clarity that can emerge from literal and psychological darkness. Formed in the crucible of sleepless nights after the birth of her daughter, while struggling with postpartum depression, Ruznic depicts permutations of a family unit. Blurred forms bleed into one another on deep jewel tones. So too, personal and ancient history blends: night intermingles with anguish and melts into the mythic underworld.'Noticing colour at night is like receiving an unexpected gift,' she explains. Personal experiences of motherhood are saturated by her own exploration of the Sumerian goddess Inanna, who journeys to a world of shadows.
