Original artwork description:

The raw material for my objects is homemade paper, which I create from all sorts of vintage paper. I use this matter for almost everything – painting, sculpture, theatre projects, design objects. Sculptures and installations are made in mixed technique, using methods of papier-mâché, embroidery, crochet, painting, puppetry. I regard the vast amount of human made articles as a marble mine of 21th century where one can freely experiment. Every article and textile fiber can transform in a work of art. I combine found substances and items with professional arts and crafts materials to create fragile visions and textures of opulence. My latest objects are flying sculptures which confront gravity using a philosophy of movements borrowed from marionette theatre.
Deer Mother is an embodiment of ancient and wild female goddess. She has a robust body with multiple breasts and a fragile deer head with antlers, made from bead-embroidered papier-mâché. She can float in strings or be placed on the ground.

Materials used:
