Alissa Volchkova

” After several years of experience in architecture, I graduated with a Master’s degree from the Royal College of Art in London in 2016, following which I collaborated with different institutions such as museums and design galleries around the world. The approach of my work is experimental, driven by the material and the notion of tactility, not by the final aesthetics of an object or its usefulness. I explore and revisit different processes of production in a poetic way, developing the potential of surrounding materials by pushing their limits – which changes our preconceived ideas about them, and challenges the perception we might have of them – wich resluts in various unpredictable shapes. ”
