A spatial element serves as sculptural material, as a departure for a drawing, and a painterly action. In its turn, this emerged element develops into a wide scale installation that blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and drawing, composition and dispersion. At times, the “triggered” piece stays as it is, typically as a modest spatial intervention. The main problematic revolves around the question of space and, more precisely, around the notion of the “non-space” and “non-object”. The process is carried out with the use of obects that have lost their original function (remains of waste items) and with the frequent choice of hidden and overlooked spots of a space (plugs, corners, holes, space between heater and wall, cracks, to name a few). Additionally, details become the centre of attention in an intimate meeting with the viewer who is, primarily, invited to consciously acknowledge their presence and, ultimately, to re-examine the nature, value and changeability of these elements. The endeavour is an attemp to grasp something of the notion of spatiality that is so hard to pinpoint, to discover more about this space “in-between” (that lies in the core of art itself).
