ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Spatial figures

Works of a sculptural form, inspired by spatial systems of flora as well as physical thinking models. A few fastened or intertwined, threaded or seemingly accidentally located basic elements form clusters, nets, screens and tubes.  The charm of these works is in their balance between the simplicity of a big form and the detail of a precisely finished ornament.
