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.
