Paper porcelain, laces, glossy glaze, hand-building.
The sculptural vase "Dearness" represents a symbol of everything dear to our hearts. Crafted from porcelain patches and lace, woven together into a unified tapestry, it evokes the art of patchwork quilting.
Patchwork has deep roots in various cultures around the world. This technique arose from the necessity of using every scrap of fabric during times of material scarcity, and from the desire to create something beautiful out of the ordinary.
In the traditions of many peoples, patchwork quilts were used to mark significant events in family life. They were often passed down from generation to generation, carrying within them stories and memories. Each quilt is unique, reflecting the individuality of its creator, their craftsmanship, and their love.
The combination of porcelain and lace in this sculptural vase underscores the fragility and strength inherent in our memories. The porcelain patches represent the various moments in life that we carefully preserve, while the lace embodies the tenderness and warmth with which we surround our most cherished memories.
Thus, the sculptural vase "Dearness" serves as a reminder of the importance of family ties and traditions, of love and memory, which unite people and help us preserve and pass on our values from generation to generation, creating from them a unified whole, much like a patchwork quilt that becomes a family heirloom.
The sculptural vase "Dearness" was 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.
