By constructing a piece of work that could bridge two functionally diverse contexts - the studio/exhibition space and the corridor- I hope to challenge assumptions about the foreground and background areas. Similarly, the friction between front and back, seen and unseen, interior and exterior, suggested and explicit, are interrogated in the structure itself.

My work denies the neutrality of the architectural and social environment. I'm interested in exploring potentials in a given space. The viewer's experience of the space is crucial to the meaning of the site specific work, and by both enhancing and frustrating interaction with the work in the space we are challenged by our preconceptions about spaces, their functions and our negotiation of them. In the so-called neutral architectural places, the non-neutral points/axes breaking the neutrality and generally never used for this reason are the windows, the doors, the narrow corridors, the air vents, the heating pipes, the light sources etc. In fact holes in the architecture.Passing places. Disturbed places. Unstable places. Windows disturbed by what happens behind them, Door disturbed by those who open them. Corridors disturbed by those who walk along them.11 Daniel Buren, Function of Architecture, Thinking About Exhibitions, ed. Reesa Greenberg, 1996
