PRESS

Rick Weaver: “windfall of free-shifting artistic currency: music, performance and rolling language built soundly on and off precarious boundaries, supplemented with extended, elongated new text color wheel. Each performance from Zwetkof breaks from the last; each set a complete picture. Her album ‘Prehistory (horse n buggy days)’ cements adaptation into poetry at the speed of folk.”

Yeah I Know it Sucks: “…the future is now & Svet’s songs and music is simply time & basically genre-less. Not afraid to do whatever that makes sense, providing the act of brushing teeth along with harsher noise & twisting her extremely warm and kind sounding vocals in a way that makes miraculously lots of sense in it’s togetherness.”

Sarah Gill for Art Grove Newsletter: “Svet’s work as a multidisciplinary artist showcases the value of curiosity and levity in one’s practice. You can venture into new territory without fear, while still being grounded in an area of expertise.”
