("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: Nature is unsurpassed in its uniqueness and allure. The best artworks and architectural wonders are made by observing and honoring nature's engineering thoughtfulness, trying to at least approach its perfection or to save its artistry over the centuries. In this project, that was the main target and inspiration.
: The task was to create an art object which does not copy and does not resemble anything made by mankind before. Spider web with its natural beauty and aesthetics always has attracted attention. But its beauty does not last for long. The goal was to save this glory forever and to show it in the most unusual way.
: I plan to make a full collection of my works and exhibit them.
: The project started in May 2016 in Riga, finished in January 2017.
: It was my inspiration and idea, my design was not commissioned in any way.
: For now I plan to continue to produce my works myself.
: I wanted to create something valuable which will last, idea came to me spontaneously.
: No, there were not.
: My target customer is a person who cherish valuable and unique artworks.
: As far as I know, no one had carried out such an idea before. It is a symbiosis between nature's beauty and power of modern technologies which help to preserve this beauty forever.
: Name of this design clearly states the main task in this artwork - to unite gold and spider web.
: Its uniqueness hides in its rarity and originality.
: My work was made autonomously, but of course I used equipment (self bought and rented).
: To make this goal possible, I produced a series of specialized adaptations, including transportation boxes. Everything was made autonomously by self-bought equipment, finding new paths and new technologies. I also created a laboratory-workroom for all my experiments.
: No, it is not.
: There were many difficulties in my task. First of all, it was necessary to find a way how to remove the spider web without ruining it and to save its unique natural composition. Secondly, I had to transport and preserve it until later processing. Thirdly, spider web had to be covered with pure 24 carat gold and the artwork had to be finished properly. Fourthly, I wanted to show golden spider webs in volumetric area, just like in nature, without gluing, without circumfusing with resin, without lamination.
: I found information about this design competition online and decided to give it a try to see how international jury views my work.
: I believe that everything we do, makes us learn and improves us, and gives inestimable experience.
