Structures I-IV Gallery Titanik Turku, Finland 2002 “Structures” is a series of sculptures which I developed
as part of my thesis work at Turku Academy. While making these sculptures
I was thinking about the relationship between body and space. Space
is perceived through unconscious bodily sensations. Appearing for the
first time in my work, were hints of the architectural rhythms and compositions
of constructions. While making these sculptures, I was also thinking
about the spaces where people spend the majority of their lives. How
does an office or a school affect a person, for instance? Also, what
kind of responses they create and what their power is to engage the
imagination. I installed “Structures” in a gallery where I
modified the space by building additional walls. I also designed the
lighting for the piece using fluorescent lamps. |
