Suture: a modernist heritage
Suture feeds an interdependent dialogue between architectural marks and their context. The installation empowers the adjoining environment - the sculpture rendering its surroundings integral part of the medium.
Reclaimed tin is used instead of newly extracted one, it carries along a history made of previous uses. Through a potentially endless circular process of melting and solidification, I shape it from context to context. With a non-irreversible approach, Suture is immediately usable for new needs if it extinguishes its installation character: the "Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed" principle of mass conservation or Lavoisier's law, 1789.
