Pavlos is rusty knife three and he answers Yes, this has happened to me. There was a mentally ill person in my family. I felt responsible to help and later quilty cause I didn’t manage this. As an adult, I tried to be the rescuer of other people as well and always failing to save anyone until I realized it. I am not here to save or change anyone, I am not responsible for other people's feelings and I can now enjoy life in circumstances I could never imagine I would be able to. ABOUT THE COLLECTION " Rusty Knives" There are some gifts, which appear as such from the beginning. Somebody has beauty, another has talent in languages, math, arts, etc. It's obvious that this kind of qualities are gifts for a person helping one to have better, full life. But also there are those named mishaps, suffering, disasters. Painful conditions. If such conditions are met at childhood, pain can last for years, even for ever. These old wounds are rusty knifes. 'Rusty' for old and 'knife' for wound. One' s knife image has an intense, hard impact to the viewer but here, through art, a transubstantiation of this “knifal” energy is being attempted. Perhaps fear and detestation related to the knife, can be transformed to a belief that these knifes are bringing presents as well. Maybe a little bit hidden ones, but still, valuable. Eight knifes are presented into a mixed media technique that combines painting, sewing, and ready or recycled objects. The whole compositions are posed into diy framing constructions. Each art work is accompanied by a text making it specific and unique, for each knife, both the disaster and the gift. It's about the answers of 8 people to same question.
