InsiderArt Video Feature

I'm excited to share this short video glimpse into my ceramic-making process by InsiderArt. Drawing is usually the first step to everything I make, regardless of material, although it sometimes takes me months to actually make that which is on paper. Drawing of an idea is a proclamation of intent to the universe, and somehow it works! As my art mentors say, our tastes are always ahead of our abilities, and that's a good thing: keeps us, makers, busy and striving for more!

Sensations: A Video Illustration

Sensations: A Video Illustration from Julia Sverchuk on Vimeo.

Video illustration of sensory perception, based on Charles Sanders Pierce's Theory of Signs (Semiotics). His theory holds that all thought can be broken down into 3 component parts: firstness (qualities), secondness (facts) and thirdness (mediation).

Virtual Flowers Blooming at the Bronx Botanical Garden NY

June is known as the Rose month at the Bronx Botanical Garden in NYC. But what's in season in July? Virtual flowers! I planted a few there, in augmented reality. They are animated drawings, visible through a free augmented reality browser Layar for smart phones. My layer is called "Julia Sverchuk". Since all my augmented drawings are attached to specific GPS locations, you can follow me on Twitter @juliasverchuk to know where to look for my art. You can also request a location!
