Works in this section represent various three-dimensional pieces made since 2009. Ideas for these works vary, as well as the scale. Technically, most of these works were assembled (hand-built) from cast porcelain parts, with a few more recent pieces being thrown are altered porcelain. Some works are smaller, tabletop in scale having a personal (domestic) connotation. Some are true to life size. Some consider average human body scale.  All works in this section, except for the last one, were made since I moved and started working in Miami (USA) in spring of 2008. Many works shown in this section are in permanent collections.
