Teapot Sculpture in Wire and Paper-Mache by Maria Fox Larsson

The Teapot — Sculpture in Wire and Papier-mâché

(scroll down for story) I like kettles and teapots. From old to the very newest cyberspace ones, ceramic, enamel, cast iron, glow in the dark pumped full of electronics and super smart ones. Maybe it’s just the idea of this object the sole purpose of which is bringing warmth and heating water. I drink a lot of tea. Mostly black. Whenever I’m working, there’s always a cup beside me. When I wake […]

Quiet Rabbit (Rabbit on a Swing) — Sculpture in Wire, Rope and Papier-mâché

(scroll down for story) I first discovered steel tie wire as a medium in the winter of 2014. That’s when the rabbit’s body with his solitary pensive look was born. I liked him a lot immediately, but he was lonely and contextless, without a real place in life. He spent some time on my desk and bookshelf, but then hid into one of my bureau drawers and slept there for two whole

A Beast or Two — Sticker Pack

(Scroll down for story and download link). This was the first set of stickers I ever made when I realized Telegram messenger allows you to upload your own stickers. There are just so many emotions I find not only hard to express, but even to just plain put my finger on. I guess I am just no pro at being in touch with a significant part of my own emotions (though I’ve

The Bird — Sculpture in Wire and Papier-mâché

(Scroll down for the story). I created the Bird in July 2017. It was summer, and barely a few weeks after I first met the curators of Intimate Space (Интимное Место) and we had decided to do a solo show with my “Some Stories Squared, Season 1” series. I was flipping through the drawings, and they made sense. I knew they were what I wanted to share, but something was missing. That’s

Chicken Heads — Travel Sketchbook Paper Instagram Project

My life works like this. My uncle randomly buys a bag of chicken heads, sets it in the fridge and leaves for St. Petersburg. My grandpa finds the chicken heads and decides to make chicken head broth for him and me and to feed the heads to my dog because apparently, he loves my dog. When asked to serve my dog a few heads I freak out and nearly gag, because the

AntiMona — Travel Sketchbook Paper Instagram Project

While on my way to my greatgrandmother’s house in Beshtau (Stavropol region), in Moscow I met AntiMona. Allow me to introduce you. AntiMona is my very first attempt at da Vinci fan art, and she is also part of a new project I’m working on. I’m still thinking of a proper name for the project, but essentially it’s a paper sketchbook take on Instagram. When I was getting ready for my trip,

Balance and Alignment — Some Stories Squared

I really value both space and connection in a relationship. Being together, but remaining distinct individuals. In this respect the idea of a tandem bike feels off-putting. I mean, your both pedaling, and both putting in the effort, but one of you has zero control of the direction you’re going in. Some tandem bikes even have a steering wheel on the back seat. That you can’t use for steering. Maybe I’m being

Safe Space 2 — Some Stories Squared

Both J. and the Dogster modeled for me for this one.  J.  — while finishing up another work project on his laptop, the Dogster — half asleep and indulging in a belly rub from the both of us. I was still thinking of intimacy, feeling safe and close to each other. Feeling that you can relax and let go, feeling aligned, like there’s a direction the two of you share. Knowing that

Safe Space — Some Stories Squared

This is another piece I created for the gender stereotype project N. and I are working on. The man in the interview talks about a relationship he was really happy in. “We had warm conversations, we could talk about cooking, fashion, things one or both of us were interested in (science, art, music), or we’d sit sharing a pair of ear buds, listening to the same music, for hours. <…> We were
