Abstract

Nadezhda Stolpovskaya (b. 1959) is an artist and translator who used to live in the Soviet Union. In the 1970s and 1980s, she began making drawings while translating sections from smuggled art books from the West. This thesis reads into Stolpovskaya's work as an artist who not only translates between languages, but translates herself. As she tries to make the world over, she approaches the threshold between speech and silence. All we are left are impressions.
