#5 from the "Virkelig/Uvirkeligt" series

Virkeligt Uvirkeligt features molten-seeming coagulations of glass, rich in colors which glide and fade and sizzle from lichen green to claret to beige, caught amid a contorted flux of becoming. They hang suspended on ropes, they lay, paralyzed mid-writhe, on steel planes, and they are pinioned by metal lances amid industrial scaffolding. 
In Virkeligt Uvirkeligt, Koshenkova’s glassworks serve as the germinal seeds of an altered world. At times, they call to mind bacterial blooms, spectral splotches at the edge of industrial vents. At other times, they seem to be ectoplasmic distillations of energy. The industrial scaffolding that defines the exhibition space includes elements recognizable to any urban dweller. The outside has come in. And the glassworks, foundered in the furnace of the artist’s interiority, have come out.
