I aspire to your mantra- to know ahead would impose restrictions, imbred preconception and perhaps miss opportunity to further unfold the subject. To find magic in the mundane, the uqly or the normalcy of everyday is a difficult task requiring rigour and committment. I applaud your success in capturing this ‘other’ or the ‘magic’, which most would pass in their hurried rush to live life.

The moment of joy with your work comes after rereading and decoding, and the final recognition, as the view has shifted slightly left of centre, to now present something very different or previously “unseen”.

Your success here is in the touching of my senses through the slight nuances and imperfections rather than any grand gestures.

Wonderful work, Krystina and inspirational to my journey.

But after reading her impressive interview I get a better handle on her work. Yes, there is form, symmetry and meaning in Krystina’s work, much of it depressing, because urban decay is dispiriting, but it’s also challenging in a mischievously inspiring way – what is heaven’s name are those loops/nooses meant to convey in exhibit 2? I am forced to engage, but I am too lazy to and I don’t like it! But keep challenging us Krystina – it’s good, ultimately, for the spirit.
