And… they like nothing on earth.
She never tells something about them.
Her creations are lyric and epic at the same time, like idyllic paradisiac dreams or pictures of the hell, haunted sometimes by womanly helpless sometimes by monstrously ugly creatures, mysterious symbols, allegoristic metamorphoses.
Her works are made in strange, complicated technique. Author’s favorite materials are wood, stone and leather. She doesn’t scruple to use mummified insects, fishes and lizards, bones, claws and hair of animals in the sculptures.
Now Anna Kormilitsyna is living and working in Moscow.
