Marina Bychkova's porcelain creations are well known in the high end collector's market. Her aesthetic is timeless, and her talent limitless. I have been a fan since I saw a picture of her dolls pasted on the inspiration board for Basso S/S 09 (The design house I work for.)
I have a lot of fun reading her blog-- her latest entry was about recreating an outdoor photoshoot, indoors. Aside from being a phenomenal artist, she is a brilliant writer.
The thing I love the most about her dolls is their timelessness, she truly creates them to be heirlooms--to outlive their owners. Reading about her process is fascinating--each porcelain doll goes through several stages of firing, and are strung together using industrial steel. Each joint is lined in suede, enabling the doll to maintain her pose.
