Capturing Space is a series of works that originated from a need to explore personal space and home. The result is a series of structures which all form some kind of enclosed space. Square or rectangular form is a recurring form in most human made dwellings, and these forms do not occur organically in nature.
In the drawings I used unusual materials instead of paper and pen to examine what defines a drawing.
I spent four months in Ireland during spring 2016. The works that I made there handled the issues of home and space, and the need of control. Both finding and coincidence became a big part of my working there. Collecting and finding materials became a natural routine. I also thought about the fact that an art piece may have only a certain lifetime. After that, it will no longer exist.
