WOOD

How to create life from live material

Wood is connected to our civilisation since the ancient ages, even the first doll was made out of wood. Using natural materials gives our artwork a different dimension. Wood is an alive material with energy which resonates with us.I am a puppet artist from my heart. I love the magic when material starts to live. It can be a puppet in some theater or in a game, or it can be like a living sculpture - a doll. It is fascinating how big emotions can make a piece of the wood,or pease of the plastic or piece of the porcelan - if only somebody can give live and some body can receive it .It can be one person. We have a magic power to make things alive. We make this when we are children, we make this when we are adults, we make this when we are moving and talking with things, we make this when we are artists.

As the Saint Francis of Assisi wrote:

“He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”

ANIMATION

Seeing inanimate objects -especially puppets- being animated is a different kind of magic and the fact that you’re literally giving them life with your own hands is very exciting.

art project:

Natalia Lepichina - Kazachstan

Contemplating the world order. Assuming life is a mirror - everything surrounding us is our reflection. Future us is past us with either all of the effort made or no effort at all. Whatever we give comes back to us. Installations - process - searching for ourselves, a will to find the harmony between ourselves and the world around.
