"Goats", 2006

- plaster, jute

In my free sculpture creation I am inspired the most by the morphology of nature.

 

I have developed few directions here - one is much more realistic represented very well with the group of animal plastics called "Goats". I was playing here with expressiveness of their movement, imitation of the animal hair and I was trying to show their simplicity, spontaneity and playfulness.

 

Another direction of my free sculpture creation leads more to the abstract way - I was experimenting here with multiple over-sizing the scale of natural shapes - the egg shells and I was doing some material experiments when I was using plaster and paper as a definitive sculptural materials. I like them because of their airiness and quickness of manipulation.

In this work called "Shells" I was trying to express fragility and transience of every physical form.

"Transormations", 2007

- bachelor work

The last direction in my free works was very experimental - I wanted to invent new sculpture material - 100 % natural, which would be also durable without using any chemicals to fix it and which would have also some deeper philosophical connection with human beings.


I had tried to create a human figure from an alternative natural material that would be something to do with it, whether philosophically, historically, symbolically or mystically.
Finally, after long thinking and a lot of material experiments, I ha
ve decided to use the apple as a very ordinary fruit, accessible for everyone, which will be able to show the life cycle from the birth through maturation, aging and final destruction.
Processes that are so natural for all human beings and all that surrounds us. More then, the apple as a symbolic fruit was also used in the Bible and in some fairy tales.
On this statue I used small apples in their dried for
m to show the life cycle which was additionally supported by a woman pregnancy right before giving birth.


This statue stayed exposed and untouched in the space of studio for a very long time - about six months !!! - without any marks of destruction by natural processes like rot or insect invasion - until it was by "unfortunate coincidence" thrown to the garbage.
Before of course awarded as one of the best bachelor works on my academy that year.

Hm, sometimes even like this unfortunately ends-up a work of art... Should it be the culmination of its own life cycle??
