Wandering the Stanford campus yesterday with friends, we had the pleasure of meeting and stumbling upon the studio that belongs to current MFA student Yulia Pinkusevich. Hailing from Kharkov, Ukraine, Yulia is an interdisciplinary visual artist whose works include Atomic Bomb Portraits, installation art, and orgami on a scale the likes of which I had not previously witnessed. We were privileged to get a look at one of her most recent installation pieces on display, "Icarus," a kinetic fan composed of Aluminum, steel, and Tyvec paper. The paper and metal mesh seamlessly into simplicity and elegance; what's more, due to the Icarus's mechanical nature, it can take on many forms, being as inviting and open or as closed and rigid as it cares to be. Check out and explore the influences and messages behind Yulia's impressive body of work on her website, www.yuliapink.com
