Revolving Body / Gluskema

Intallation, mixed media (paper pulp, wood, printed material, mezzotint print, oil pastel and ink on paper), 2019

Each element in the installation isolates a different component of what we identify as living: the skeleton that provides structure, the shell that offers protection and boundary, the spirit that fills and animates the vessel. By separating these aspects and presenting them as discrete objects, the work suggests that life is less a unified whole than an assembly of parts, each with its own logic and materiality. The paper stencils, with their cut-out voids and repeated forms, emphasize the idea of template or pattern—the underlying architecture that determines shape. The wood and drawings add tactile weight and gestural presence, while the false mezzotint print introduces a ghost of traditional image-making, a surface that mimics depth and tone through deception. Together, these elements create an anatomy lesson of sorts, dissecting the concept of "living" into its constituent parts: framework, enclosure, and the ineffable something that transforms inert structure into animate being.
