I had an opportunity to present my recent work in a talk at the Eastern Edge gallery. The event was called Fancy Artist talks where a diverse group of artists (visual, digital, installation, performance) talked about their experiences. The audience enjoyed cocktails designed to match artist's work. The cocktail for my talk was called Volga to reflect my Russian background. It was based on vodka and was quite strong. I was a bit afraid that after the cocktail I would loose the ability to speak English so I saved it until after the talk.
