Hogweed Wine Glass by Kira Kostina
Hogweed Wine Glass by Kira Kostina
These glasses are a part of the topic I am currently working - Heracleum series. For the material basis of this series I took the trunk of the hogweed - a plant that is now equated to the devil incarnate. The epithets and words, using in the mass media, in most cases are: "poisonous occupier ", "terminator plant", "attention, danger!" Accidentally I saw the dried trunks of this plant in the summer and, not yet understood what it is, I became interested in their characteristic shape ... Simple and complex at the same time. harmonious, strict, it immediately gave rise to a number of associations, such as Greek columns, elements of vases, bases of glasses. It seemed to me an interesting task to show the beauty that I saw in it, despite of popular opinion. It is possible to soften slightly the idea of the hogweed as a brutal green predator and literally "whitewash" it with the help of porcelain.
