objects collection
Objects are one of the key medium in Olga Chekotovska practice. These works grows from everyday life. The moment of reality contemplation through found objects and picking up what nature gives us is important for the artist. The artist’s method is collecting and compilation of natural and artificial. That’s why in the sculptures there are concrete, paint, glass, wire (artificial, dead) and wood, flowers, feathers, grass (natural, alive).
The artworks were created in throughout artist’s life experiences. You can learn more about each object clicking on the name of the object/object series.

Meanwhile our real human losses will feed our soil. Year after year their lost souls will nourish little weed sprouts with life, trees will fill its circulatory system, birds will make nests under blooming crowns. Every spring, every year.
