ISSUE 9 PART 2

ISSUE #9 part 2

Editors note: 

This was originally special issue #3 but then i thought "it is not that special". Because it is exactly the same as any other issue of BNW except it consists of works of past contributors. At least Autumn Special was huge and Disappointing Second One had an unifying idea. Because of that this one is kinda not exactly issue #10 but not really issue #9 and definitely not Special Issue #3.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration - Issue #9 part 2.

2. Valeri Scherstjanoi - Mixed Sheet

Diane Keys - Image Search Poems

Diane Keys' work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and emotional memories.

With influences as diverse as Caravaggio and Andy Warhol, new synergies are crafted from both explicit and implicit layers.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the traditional understanding of relationships. What starts out as triumph soon becomes corrupted into a cacophony of power, leaving only a sense of decadence and the possibility of a new understanding.
As momentary forms become frozen through studious and personal practice, the viewer is left with a tribute to the possibilities of our existence.
