Too much information and sounds around you? Sit down, take a break.
Difficult choice or challenging task? Lie down, relax.
Feeling heavy at heart? Hide in safety.

But then get up and don't give up.

oksana oleksik is a textile artist. She lives and works in Tbilisi. Her main technique is weaving and also uses other techniques to experiment with form and texture.

Her practice is an exploration of loss and how people cope with it. Emigration, war and the political situation have encouraged her to work on a project to create a register of loss. Through the prism of her own experience, she creates mirrors that numb the feeling of loneliness.

oksana oleksik has participated in several group exhibitions. Artworks are in private collections in Russia, Sweden and Germany.
