A remote land shaped by extreme conditions. The flat surfaces of a shelter's roof emerge just above the snow level. Located at 75°06′ south and 123°23′ east, 950 km from the Banzare Coast, at an
altitude of 3,250 metres above sea level. The surrounding ice sheet is
still and lifeless—motionless.
No fauna or flora exists in this
environment. The nearest neighbouring station is the Russian Vostok
base, 560 km away. The closest coastal stations with reliable sea access
lie over 1,000 km away: Dumont d’Urville (French) and Casey
(Australian), both about 1,100 km to the north, and Mario Zucchelli
(Italian), located 1,200 km to the east.

006 MEWA - Winter shelter

material

 

Four of the tiles are hand-carved from solid oak. All the others were made by hand using my own concrete ceramics technique. The binder used for each individual Mewa tile is white Portland cement, which is characterised by its high strength. Its very high degree of whiteness makes it possible to achieve any colour for the tiles. The pigments used to colour the composite mixture are the highest quality, finely ground oxides of iron, chromium, cobalt and titanium. They are characterised by high colour uniformity and are resistant to weathering and UV radiation. 

An essential component of the composite mass in tile production is micro-aggregate, specially formulated by me from quartz sands with strictly defined physical and chemical parameters. Subjected to a special technological process, they allow for the regulation of the uniformity and porosity of the composite mass. 

When creating the correct composite formula for each tile, fine-grained additives and the latest-generation admixtures are used; thanks to their microscopic structure, these enable the production of a highly durable material with increased resistance to fire, water, chemical agents and abrasion. 

All stages of the technological process are designed and selected individually for each of my works.
