The cycle of teapots "officially" began with working on sketches for "Magritte" thematic tea set, which was ventured enough cheerful, but still quite functional. From an iron combined with a tobacco " it is not " pipe (among the given things not presented) it should count off time given to all undertaking. Time that coincides with desire to stir up the frippery from the good old pantry, Mandelshtam’s "Egypt of things". The subsequent objects have finally lost a utilitarian rudiment, and the project is carried out up to the present as a series of independent sculptures. Although their original character and shape, which has given to me inspiration to create them, still lives on in the object itself. This attitude dates back to whatever viewer can discern there according to well known “strategic acmeism”, rather universal trend I am still tends to cherish.
