Surrender project - Conceptual ceramic sculpture
Surrender project is an experiment that traces parallel lines between plastic expression of matter and human experience of life and transformation. My intervention as an artist stops after the vessel is filled with liquid clay. The pieces open up, move, let go of the old structure and take final shape by their own.
"Ceramic processes intrinsically involve laborious and often delicate work resulting from manual work and care to achieve the desired form. Anastasia Egorova's work transcends delicacy and conveys the idea of that silence that catches the necessary time for the pieces to become. Halfway between the utilitarian piece and the impossible object, lacking of function because it has become a part of the process itself, it offers us the possibility of reflecting, of stopping to contemplate, think, meditate. The exhibition is presented as an experience in itself. The rooms become places that invite us to stop and contemplate. The details of each piece are tellers of stories and we have to be careful to listen to them from an interior space, there is no other way to understand the meaning."
