Description and information about the work:
The ceramic coil is the main element on the basis of which it creates figuratively and formally interesting abstract-decorative panels, three-dimensional compositions, "constructions-constructors". In the decor of each coil there is a traditional-Ukrainian, but modernly interpreted, ornament, which demonstrates the author's careful attitude to national traditions and gives the compositions a certain address. On the spool, each of which differs in color and texture, a cord or other material (threads, sisal) is wound, depending on the idea of the composition, or the environment in which they are. The movement and dynamics of the author's thoughts, desires, hopes and vice versa are symbolically embedded in the winding of the thread - unwinding is something that is more difficult to do in life.
