This body of work consists of three-dimensional constructions-boxes and B&W drawings. As far as constructions are concerned, I translate the spaces into the third dimension, through models enclosed in wooden boxes. The enclosed maquette, as “curious space”, is a reference to “Curiosity Boxes”, (16th century). The Renaissance collections offer a key to the pre-scientific effort to understand the world. The primary perception of size signifies the apparent reality of objects. For example, a mountain as it is gigantic in scale, it is impossible to observe in total up close. The size of a dollhouse, on the other hand, provides us a wonderful power to control the life in there, a power responsible for why miniature fascinates us. In the boxes, curiosity is identified with the contrived optics of the keyhole. The viewer takes the role of an explorer, as they are invited to observe their interior, through various distorting (and non-) lenses.
