The Chaos Dome - Sculptures

Unavailable

Observing the events of my own life and how it affects me, I began to study chaos theory. The topic impressed me, found response in my soul, and found its practical implementation. Arriving at the studio, I started the planned work on the usual shape - the dome. At first, the work went on as usual, but after reaching the stage of sculpting the upper part of the dome, instead of the planned flat slot, I made a round hole. Then another, and another. I plunged into the process of creation, succumbing to the creative flow - what my hands created was the realization of an exciting image from my subconscious - the image of Сhaos. Letting go of control while creating a new object, I accepted the chaos, felt it, and captured it.
My work Chaos is a sculpture for flowers that can have many images - from calm and minimalistic to strange and expressive. In my previous works, I began my research into the shape of a constructor; in the Chaos object, a constructor is a leitmotif. This work calls for action: play, change the components in places, decorate the flower placed in it, or remove them at all. Calls for interaction, for the creation of a silhouette from elements that are unlike each other. The diversity of the Chaos object symbolizes the flow of life, asymmetrical and disorderly. The symmetrical base is enlivened by dissimilar elements-branches, demonstrating the unpredictability of the development of events. There is no wrong choice, no stumbling on the way when we comprehend chaos. Let go of control, touch, create, contemplate and comfort and peace will come.

burning clay

ZHENI is a ceramic design studio. Started my professional career as an architect and later as an interior designer, I continue to work with space now by placing my objects in it. Mostly I work with clay as with one of the ancient and natural material human worked with. The perception of the way material got through the thousands of years in different cultures all around the globe gives me a dose of inspiration. Also, I’m inspired by brutalist architecture and contemporary urban and landscape design. Paying attention to relationships between human and nature on the city site, making connections between different natural phenomenas give me an opportunity to achieve unobvious results during the design process. My works may be characterized by the purity of form, naturalness, and minimalism in colors. The design method can be described as a practice-led exploration of harmony between form, texture and natural color of the material to create sculptural and functional objects hand-made and fired in Studio in Bratislava.
