SSA ESSAY PROJECT | Alona Petliarska
We are pleased to publish ‘Making Art in an Age of Noise’ by SSA Member, Alona Petliarska.
Alona is a Kirkwall-based artist; her practice is rooted in the “performance” of visual storytelling. Her work explores the fluid transitions of mythology and folklore through mixed media, and her recent research addresses the challenges of creativity in the digital era
In this essay, Alona reflects on how the current flood of images — especially AI-generated ones, are shaping the way she thinks about making art. Alona asks questions of attention, slowness, and what it means to stay with a process in a culture that moves so quickly.

The SSA essay programme intends to highlight the creative thinking of our members and to provide a platform for expressing and sharing our opinions on Art, Life and the World.
SSA Members are invited to submit essays for consideration by the SSA Essay Steering Group. This Group will look for essays containing original ideas and pertinent comments on the arts and beyond. You might, for example, like to write about your own art practice, the work of other artists you are familiar with, shows you have seen, or your musings on creative and cultural life.
