AROUND THE CORNER
AN EXHIBITION BY AMANDA LEVETE
14 FEBRUARY - 26 MARCH 2008
Around the Corner explores the relationship between the void in the corner of a room and the response that inhabiting this space invokes. The corners of a room are often lost spaces, rarely exploited for the display of either art or furniture.
‘I wanted to address this with pieces specifically designed to take up these vacant spaces’ says Amanda Levete.
The initial forms were derived from a complex three-dimensional formula that was first manipulated digitally and then by hand to create elegant and functional pieces of furniture. Each piece has been made in a different material to express its particular qualities and to show how perception of a form changes according to the material in which it is conceived.
