The Arrangement of Objects

Drawing and Printmaking Studio

The thesis titled The Arrangement of Objects explores the intersection of functional, aesthetic, and artistic approaches. It examines a combination of glass and metal materials, emphasizing the process’ conceptual aspects. The central theme is a load/burden – both as a physical property and as a metaphor representing pressure, imprint, deformation. This burdening is reflected in the layering of materials, indentations, grooves, and perforations, creating a symbolism of landscape relief models and the lifecycle of objects. Simplified layering and segmentation play a key role.
