This piece resembles a juggler in a circus with balls flying around. In the drawing, balls would be on the same plane on the sheet, covering some areas. Whereas in sculpture, there is no limited point of view. If to use drawing approach in sculpture, it will be against the perspective and space laws. Thus, only the point of view from one angle in sculpture will correspond to reality.
But what difference does it make to you if you looking through the screen?
Viewing the sculpture through your phone/computer makes it always flat. We are judging three-dimensional objects via two-dimensional screens which is an extremely specific way of seeing.
The image of objects in three-dimensional space employing a two-dimensional depiction looks inappropriate. Can we build a parallel to the Scopic regime of our days here? We are judging three-dimensional objects via two-dimensional screens which is an extremely specific way of seeing.
In the process of sculpting, I had various details of sculptures from the past and found objects. Since the next project involves sculpting from the different components, I decided to start practice earlier. I still had small clay sketches of human bodies, pieces of broken pottery, shells, and so on.
I just swapped things around and watched them change and interact.
Here I was interested in the interaction of colour and object.
For example, a girl with balls, it is a chipped off part of a large sculpture. Experimenting with the material, I made a support for the girl's head. The colour was the motivation for this sketch. I liked the Turquoise colour. Bright and modern, the colour of seawater on a warm coast. But for sculpture, this colour is unnatural. Next, I noticed how this colour interacts with bright pink. I wanted to combine them, but in what form it was not clear. The colours are brightly opposed to each other. The confrontation, unpopularity, inappropriateness could be presented in a new similar form. Since the girl's head is already meaningful in content and expression, I thought of a simple shape - a ball.

As a result, the colour was the driving force behind this work. It set the tone and led the idea. This piece resembles a juggler with balls in a circus. The moment of balls flight is caught here.
In the drawing, the ball would be on the same plane of the sheet, thereby indicating its connection with the main object. In sculpture, you can place a ball next to it or hang it, but how to show the connection between objects in a movement? So I kind of use the drawing approach in sculpture? Drawing in sculpture. The image of objects in three-dimensional space employing a two-dimensional depiction.
Similar to balls is what happens to my phone and head in the drawing and sculpture.
But such an effect in a drawing is possible because only one point of view is given to the viewer. In sculpture, this approach is clearly against the laws of space. And what?
