Tectonics

The solo show at Sothu Zurich shows billowing, soft sculptures: Surfaces woven from threads build networks; the individual parts play with permeability and density, with loose and firm connections. They are reminiscent of skins and protective membranes, blurring the line between the organic and the artificial.
The works are created on a digital Jacquard loom and later draped sculpturally in space. In the process, the artist explores the interplay between tension and relaxation, between clinging and buckling. Always in motion.
