Waterproof Porcelain Vase

2002, vase, porcelainthe vase shaped like a rubber welly was originally white, and was later made in many colors, starting with the onion pattern in 2004. Part of Maxim Velovsk?s diploma thesis and one of his trademark products. The first series had twelve boots in six pairs. They are modeled on genuine Russian wellies. The work echoes the artists fascination with foil art, practical aesthetics and a trivial charge, as well as the effort to reverse a seemingly fateful deal and enhance an ordinary item through a noble material and a change in function.
