Knight. This Knight sculpture is based on a rather unusual theme for my work. The idea came from a Soviet-era glass holder that I bought in an antique shop. Its shape reminded me of a knight’s armour, as it was decorated with traditional patterns and distinctive ornaments.
I just had to find some discarded objects that could serve as the arms, legs, head and weapon. The weapon, made from earrings, is particularly interesting. By a curious coincidence, they already had the inscription “Make love, not war” engraved on them. This suited the chosen theme perfectly.
I decided to leave the metal parts unpainted. This was important to me because I wanted to emphasise the knight’s shiny appearance. I decorated his helmet with feathers made from springs taken from old watches.
This Knight sculpture brings together unexpected found objects to create a shiny, unusual character with a peaceful message.
