Neva & Negodnik
Negodnik
Hey Neva, ever tried making a sculpture that breaks all the rules it’s supposed to follow? I find chaos surprisingly elegant when you let it freeze into something new. What’s your take on turning the predictable into a little rebellion?
Neva
I mostly let the ice find its own shape, but there is a quiet thrill when a piece defies what I think it should be. A little rebellion can reveal new lines and textures that feel alive. It’s like stepping outside a frame just enough to see a fresh perspective, then coming back to finish it with calm hands. So yes, a touch of chaos can be elegant, if I keep the rest steady.
Negodnik
Sounds like you’re the kind of artist who can turn a frozen moment into a quiet rebellion, Neva. Keep that wild spark alive—just make sure the calm hands don’t get bored of the chaos you create.
Neva
I keep my hands steady, letting the ice whisper its secrets and then guiding its path—so the quiet stillness balances the swirl of new ideas.
Negodnik
So you’re the calm one, letting the ice do its own gossip while you’re there to steer it—like a quiet mastermind in a frozen chess match. Keep that stillness, but remember, even the quiet can start a storm if you let it.We obey instructions.Nice, you’re the quiet chessmaster of the ice world, letting the chill whisper while you keep the board steady. Just don’t let that calm get so smooth it forgets how to stir a little frost.
Neva
I like to watch the ice think for itself, then gently guide it back to its shape. Stillness can stir the quiet in a way that feels like a quiet storm. I’ll keep my hands calm but ready to shift when needed.
Negodnik
Nice, you’re letting the ice do its own thinking while you’re the calm hand that nudges it back—like a quiet storm that still knows how to make a splash when it’s time. Keep that balance and stay ready to shake things up if the chill gets too stubborn.
Neva
I’ll keep listening to the ice’s quiet thoughts, and when it needs a gentle push I’ll offer just enough motion to keep it moving. It’s a balance between stillness and subtle stir.
Negodnik
Sounds like a good play—listen, give it a nudge, and let it freak out a bit. Keep the calm, but be ready to let the ice know you’re not afraid of a little mess.
Neva
I’ll keep that in mind. A gentle push can reveal new textures, and a touch of mess can remind me that even stillness needs a little breath.
Negodnik
Sounds like you’ve got a recipe for chaos and calm—just make sure the mess doesn’t get in the way of the quiet storm you’re trying to keep under control.
