Monkey See, Monkey Do...

A lot of my non-artist friends ask me how I come up with ideas for my work. Perhaps it was easier when I was focusing on ceramic vessels? But here's a prime example of how ideas intersect, or sometimes encounter each other and align. While reading Carlo Rovelli's book, Reality is Not What it Seems (the journey to quantum gravity), I encountered the above illustration on the upper left addressing packets of space, and later reading about the granularity of time. I have stopped  considering it a coincidence that I picked up this particular book at Daunt books, a travel bookstore of all places, during mid January when I was wrestling with how time is illusory, and how memories puncture through time and space.

    Hi, I'm Romi. I'm an American artist who lives & works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have the amazing opportunity to live in London while working on a MFA program in painting and decided to blog about the experience. So here we go!

"Embracing counterpoints, like moments of stillness found within chaos, I use a range of materials in my work: drawings, paintings, ceramics, printmaking, video, installation and sculpture."

Romi Sloboda was born in the United States and spent her childhood living in both the United States and her mother's native city, Seoul, Korea. She studied printmaking at the Santa Reparata Graphic Arts Centre in Florence, and received her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis and her MFA from London Metropolitan University. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the United States as well as in Europe. She has been awarded residencies from the Cité Internationale des Arts Fondation in Paris, the University of Texas at Dallas, and the Herekeke Arts Center in New Mexico. Romi currently lives and works in London, United Kingdom.
