Mollusk II
Ustina Yakovleva was born in 1987 in USSR. She graduated from Moscow State Pedagogical University (Graphics Faculty) in 2009 and Institute of Contemporary Art, Moscow in 2009. The artist create works without sketches, as she is interested in self-forming composition as part of the creation process; drawing develops as a living creature, taking new forms throughout the work. Individual elements like the beads, stitches, and lines construct her structures and form her visual language. Ustina uses automatic writing process which binds the time into the material form. Her practice revolves around labour-intensive contemplative practices that navigate her works. She defines herself as a process-based artist embedded in the nature and the traditions of her north Russian heritage. Through long running meditative and pagan practices she creates objects, installations, books and paintings, all as an effect of time and local surroundings.
