Biljana Stamenkovska: Reading Diary

Biljana Stamenkovska’s Reading Diary is a series of prints made in drypoint technique where a needle is used to transfer visual images to a metal plate.
Reading Diary brings to light snapshot- stories engraved in copper plates. With the sharpness of the needle, Stamenkovska alludes to both pain and the stubborness of memories. The small-scale prints, sharp lines of images and inscriptions create very intimate diaries – exposed. Also, the artist willingly gives away her intimacy, which engraves simultaneously Stamenkovskas ́ personal stories into the universal memory realm, where -my story– transforms into ours.
