Author: Inoui Keramika, Anna Pereslegina:

"I work with clay and porcelain on the potter's wheel, using various decorative techniques that allow me to convey the core idea and the thought behind my works. It is a reimagining of the interaction between humans with the surrounding world—an attempt to depict natural phenomena, not through exact replication, but through the lens of my own vision and perception. In my understanding, natural phenomena encompass the entire world around us: chemical reactions and their outcomes, as well as physical laws and their manifestations—everything that surrounds us and leaves me deeply moved. It could be light or shadow, a small patch of frozen asphalt, the transparency of the air, a silver glint on snow, the multilayered river ice by a house in the countryside, dreams of spring, the anticipation of the early bloomers I planted in autumn. Swollen buds on the verge of blooming, young grass in a field shimmering in the wind like the surface of water. This, and much more, can become a source of inspiration for me."

Anna has two studios, one in Moscow and the other in a countryside near Tver. In the countryside, she conducts research into different types of firing—saggar firing and carbonized firing.
