"My characters have a specific, distorted perspective of the body. The forms are slightly clumsy, plump, anatomically disturbed, marked with accents that duplicate the figures or hybridize their silhouettes. Each sculpture is a different personality, a personal story, a graphic "novel" containing my favorite motifs: images of family relationships, parent and child, partners, pets, trees. I also "scratch" emotions on them, with a subtle nod to humor. Present are: surprise, anger, fear as well as joy." (Janina Myronova)
