The Fish
On these this domino chips, the word "fish" is written in Braille. In normal dominoes, a combination under the same name means the inability to play on, but here the rules are different, the game continues, new members get involved in it. The size of the small fish size is within the 80x80 cm - the maximum possible size of images for haptic "reading", so that the sculpture could also be "seen" by blind people. Black holes in the large dominoes being a reminder that there is a world that can not be seen with the ordinary eye-view.

The work won the festival of contemporary sculpture from scrap metal LOM (Ekaterinburg, 2015) in the nomination "The best work of contemporary art from scrap metal."

LOVE - shelling
Cupid's arrows are often portrayed in the form of a gold-gilded souvenir. But wherever the feelings are deep, the souvenir arrows won't do. And the grass, to grow in this place, will more likely be tougher.

The work was created for project LOM 2014 (sculptures from scrap metal).

Vivo
Gypsum casts in the form of ears are installed around an already existing sculpture. Combination of objects of quite different formats – a very traditional park sculpture of Soviet times - and the gypsum ears of hypertrophic dimensions that seem to grow out of the ground, creates new reading opportunities. They remind us that any, even the long-forgotten music, can be heard. Certain paradox of the situation doesn't suppress the incumbent object but on the contrary – calls it out from silence and gives a chance of new life in art – gypsum violinist girl regains her new audience.

1st prize of ArtOvrag2013 festival of contemporary art (Vyiksa).

"The concept of work is simple, not dangerous, but romantic and even educational" - Mike Heints, artist, teacher, member of the Board RAVT, jury member Public Art Prize.
