ABOUT THE WORK

Sculpture "Support" from the cycle "When Crowns Fall". The composition depicts two stylized figures sitting next to each other on a large chess piece.

Minimal forms and restrained plasticity focus attention on their mutual closeness – on the moment of being together.

History

The series "When Crowns Fall" talks about situations when social roles and statuses disappear. What remains is a person and their relationship with another person.

The sculpture "Support" depicts two figures sitting side by side on a chessboard. Chess here acts as a metaphor for life - a space where decisions are made, moves are made, and crowns are sometimes lost.

The figures sitting next to each other create a simple but important image: a person can become a support for another person.

Combination ideas

A restrained, conceptual object that looks best in a minimalist interior. Suitable for a contemporary, modern or industrial space where form and material texture are important.
The sculpture "Support" can be displayed on a shelf or desk as a small symbolic accent.

CARE OF CHAMOMILE SCULPTURES AND INTERIOR DECORATIVE ITEMS

Fine-grained chamotte sculptures, due to their often more porous, often unglazed surface, are more sensitive to abrasion, dirt absorption, and improper wet cleaning; the most important prevention: dry cleaning.

Precious metal lusters (gold, platinum, palladium, etc.) have a thin overglaze coating, fired at a lower temperature, and are therefore more vulnerable to abrasives and friction; it is recommended to maintain such decors gently, by hand, without scrubbing.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Chamotte is a high-temperature fired and crushed clay material that is mixed into the mass. It reduces drying/firing shrinkage, helps dry more evenly, and can increase resistance to thermal stresses (especially in larger-shaped items), but can also leave the surface with a more porous and "receptive" texture (especially if unglazed).

This maintenance is intended for fine-grained chamotte sculptures, interior decor items (often more massive forms), which may be unglazed or partially/glazed.

CLEANING

Dry cleaning (basic method): remove dust with a soft brush and „drive“ it into a vacuum cleaner with minimal suction. Do not use rough cloths - this increases the risk of scratches and fading of the decor.

Wet cleaning only exceptionally: „washing“ or soaking is not recommended – especially if there is porosity, old repairs or unclear condition. If it is necessary (e.g. sticky dirt), consult a specialist first.
