The Illusory Temptations of the Subconscious Self-Doubts – Art Photography by Anastasia
Same as last year I’m celebrating my Birthday with an exhibition… A bit short notice but I’ve been MAD busy with Chester Art Festival! It’s been a massive success and now I can concentrate on my own art and not Pablo Picasso:)
The Illusory Temptations of the Subconscious Self-Doubts is an exhibition of my abstract art photography and has NOT been planned. Improvisation in its purest form it will give you a bit of insight into the world of illusions, reflections, shadows and rays of sunlight.
Looking forward to seeing everybody at Chester Art Centre this Saturday, 13 October for a few Birthday drinks and some of my abtracts. Hope you like them!
Love,
Anastasia

P.S. The name of the exhibition has no deeper meaning or grandiose message behind it. It’s just me trying to seem clever:)
An interpretation of Yoko Ono’s Cut Piece
Yoko Ono
Cut Piece
Ono’s work related destruction to interpersonal, often intimate, human relations. This element was particularly thought-provoking in ‹Cut Piece›, one of many actions she did as DIAS [Destruction in Art Symposium]. Ono had first done the performance in 1964, in Japan, and again at Carnegie Hall, in New York, in 1965. Ono sat motionless on the stage after inviting the audience to come up and cut away her clothing, covering her breasts at the moment of unbosoming. Cut Piece entailed a disrobing, a denouement of the reciprocity between exhibitionism and scopic desires, between victim and assailant, between sadist and masochist: and, as a heterosexual herself, Ono unveiled the gendered relationship of male and female subjects as objects for each other.

Gong Fu Tea Ceremony
Gong Fu Tea Ceremony Gong Fu is a Chinese way of making tea and it means doing something well or with skill. It is the implication that time, dedication and effort will produce the ultimate tea experience.
Although this is considered ‘ Speciality’ here, in China it is fairly routine for tea drinkers to brew this way.
I will be brewing and sharing a Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea brewed in a traditional Yixing Clay Pot and a beautiful Yin Shen (Silver Needle) white tea brewed in a Gaiwan Pot.
This is a free presentation in support of Chester Art Centre’s Art Festival at St Michael’s Church in Chester
Starts at 2 PM! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Creativity Awakening Seminar with Anastasia – Beginners
NEXT Creativity Awakening Seminar to take place at Chester Art Centre this time on 10 November between 12 PM and 2 PM! For those who couldn’t attend the previous one tere is still an opportunity to get creative ! 🙂
Do you love arts, crafts and anything creative?
Do you wish you could have ‘painted like that’, ‘danced like this’, ‘was able to make something like that’?
Did you enjoy being creative when you were a child but then life happened, and you stopped?
Do you think that you are ‘too busy’ or ‘too old’ or ‘not good enough’ to even try again?
Are you a little jealous of those who can paint or draw very well? Those who are professional actors? Photographers? Writers? Musicians?..
STOP RIGHT THERE and come to our seminar – we do have a SOLUTION! 😊
‘I’ve been through all of that. I used to do art and then gave it all up because I thought I had to grow up and be a serious person. I thought there was no point. I thought I was rubbish. I thought that it was better not to even try. So, I did ‘grow up’ and was doing something totally different. At some point I lost the ability to even take a decent photo in the most inspiring places… seeing most inspiring things… I was a blocked creative suffering massively for years. And then one day… Everything changed. Now I’ve got my own art gallery, I exhibit and sell my own photography and I am actually proud to say ‘Yes, I AM a photographer (and I do jewellery design, but only as a hobby 😀 ’. It’s all possible if you want it. I’ve done a lot of research on the subject and I have my own experiences to share with those who would love to be creative and CAN BE CREATIVE but are struggling and need encouragement. Sometimes it’s all we need. A little whisper in your ear saying, ‘You Can’. That’s what happened to me’.
