The artist’s interest in ceramics emerged from a desire to create dishes to decorate a home that does not exist—a longing to finally find a home. Recently the assortment of dishes, jars, and gravy pots was augmented by the hand-painted ash urns.
Spring 2022 was marked by debates among European intellectuals on how Ukraine should reconcile with Russia and meet the aggressor’s demands. The absurdity of these claims became undeniable after evidence of genocide was uncovered in Irpin, Bucha, Borodyanka, Izium, and other cities. During a residency at the Academy of Ceramics in Gmunden, which began in the spring of 2022, Kulikovska started working on a series of ceramic dishes featuring limbs, torn bodies, and bruised flesh. The first series was titled The Negotiation Table, followed by Stitched Womb.
