V. V. Saichek writes stories that explore the flow of consciousness and how one's several inner personas battle for supremacy. Ms. Saichek utilizes this pull of inner conflict to develop characters and craft stories with strange, dream-bound resonance. Ms. Saichek's artwork explores the archetype of the Shadow and other mythical impulses, using flamboyant colors and disconnected imagery to draw the viewer into relating with "The Other".
