CEREMONY

Sculptures
2023

Porcelain, paper, fabrics, hand-building.

In my sculpture "Ceremony" I try to convey an inner sense of home, a safe space where one can be oneself. For me, home is a place of strength, where I come with my experiences, fill with energy and come out with new thoughts and solutions.

Appealing to creativity has been my refuge since childhood. I liked to tidy up and decorate my space using the materials at hand: paper, bits of fabric, cotton wool, old clothes, thread, lace.

Having retained from childhood memories a way of being at one with myself through a handmade ritual process, I continue to find inner peace by folding patchwork after patchwork. I use porcelain, to which I add paper, lace, thread and create thin porcelain "fabric cuts".

The sculptures "Ceremony" were shortlisted in the "Studio Design" nomination of the IV All-Russian Competition-Biennale of Object Design “Invented and Made in Russia”from the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts.
