Abstract [en]
Bricks, wall stones, pavement panels and slabs: those are standardized objects andelements, having the certain function and usage, ‘puzzle’ details constructing thearchitectural and urban environment.
During the work on my master degree project I took those elements and their application inurban context as basic ‘pivots’ for expanding the communicative possibilities of ceramic .Thesimplicity of their shape and form plays the framing role for those text pieces which I reflectin and trough clay. I create my own bricks and stones, pavement tiles/slabs to use them asmediators between me and a viewer; to brought up and share my thoughts, writtenfragments, metaphorical statements, which together build up sort of an achieve of ourcommon communicative experience, which of cause keeps space for personal interpretationand reading.
I use street space as a free stage which is opened for discussions, argument, opinions, andlyrical remarks. I came to the point that my objects as urban interventions should not onlytag my presence at the particular place but also work together with the surrounding they arebrought to. Therefore I decided to work with the idea of ‘rebuilding’, ‘filling up missing-brick spots’, and ‘exchanging broken elements’.
