Stepanka Facerova
I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Cambridge, UK.
I mainly work with sculpture and installation. By building installations I create different worlds; worlds which are often dominated by what is seemingly uninteresting, overlooked or forgotten. I question our social habits, the necessity of routine as well as the need for a constant change.
My practice involves using materials as varied as wood, plaster, glass, clay and paper. I am also interested in finding new ways of using traditional canvas.
The themes that interest me are social habits and the everyday. In particular, the ideas for my work originate from a simple observation of how we as humans fill our days and how we share the space with other living creatures and objects. The materials I use are often found, discarded objects which go through a certain transformation before being implemented in my work.
Constant questioning leads to research within literature and philosophy. I am forever in search of answers, which is why I make art.
