Homegrown apple on a painted stone. This sculpture is an hommage to our family picnics in Luče, Slovenia. My grandma holding baby bottle filled with warm milk. My grandma gave me these two pieces of foam and said that I should make something interesting with them, so I did this. Mind map made with two pieces of painted styrofoam, a leaf from my mother's garden and two foamy pieces that my grandma gave me. My grandma holding her homegrown cucumber. A metal brain teaser. Behind the tatami sculpture is an archival photograph of Slovenian mountains taken by my grandfather. A piece of dry gluten-free bread that I found in our kitchen, standing in the plastic bag, exactly like this. Sculpture made out of a can of beans, a piece of folded paper, printed photograph of the sky, an orange, a lemon, a biscuit and a potato from my grandparent's field. Here are my grandparents. I took this photo of them when I was very young. My grandma told me that this is in fact one of the first photos that I ever took. Scan of a popped tetra pak Erik ice tea, which was popular in Slovenia when I was a child. It is hard to find it nowadays. An air-filled carton makes a nice bang when popped. Composition made with five different-colored chopsticks, four tuna cans and a balloon. A picture of my grandma balancing a tatami chain. This sculpture is built with two different sponges and a colored papier-mâché piece. An archival picture of my grandfather sleeping on the couch. I created this sculpture with an old leftover tile from our family basement and four layers of polyurethane foam.
