Evdokia Georgiou

In "Teapots & Stove" (2015), artist Evdokia Georgiou transforms ordinary household objects into vessels of quiet collapse. The installation features wax teapots placed on and around an electric stove mounted on a wall, with the heat visibly melting the teapot above and leaving residue on the wood panel below. The setup evokes both domestic familiarity and tension, with the melting wax symbolizing a loss of function and form — a metaphor for emotional exhaustion, slow erosion, and the fragility of routine.

Georgiou’s work often deals with the temporality of materials, and here, wax serves as both a medium and a message. Traditionally associated with candles and impermanence, the wax teapots melt under the heat meant to give them purpose. This inversion — where the source of use becomes the source of destruction — mirrors the toll of repetitive domestic labor, particularly that imposed on women. The electric cord, disconnected and drooping, adds an eerie sense of helplessness or disconnection from power, both literal and symbolic.

Technically, the piece merges sculpture with live installation, relying on temperature as an agent of transformation. The materials — wax, metal, wood — contrast hard and soft, durable and fleeting. By using everyday forms like teapots and stoves, Georgiou places the viewer in an intimately known space, only to distort its comfort and predictability. The work speaks to the quiet violence of care and domesticity — beautiful, familiar, and slowly unraveling.
