ABOUT ME
KSUSHA FEDYA
My focus project called “attention! altars” which expresses the study of different cultures, customs, and rituals, a physiological interest in one’s own tactility, and observations of people, objects, and their spatial interaction.
As part of the “altar” project, I continue to create utilitarian objects that can serve as “cabinet-type” sculptures, objects for performative practices, and also can be scaled up to the format of land art.

attention! altars
SERIES
attention! altars — are ceramic modern secular shrines and accessories for incense and candles. Altars are “cabinet-type” sculptures, a place of power invironment, as well as an elegant organizer for amulets, artifacts, memories and sacred attributes. It is a power place in an apartment, garden, restaurant or other public location. The interior items of attention! altars are handmade by artist Ksusha Fedya. Each object has its own texture, shape, and color variation within the series. The objects contain sacred meanings of everyday life and the aesthetics of traditional rituals from different corners of the world.
