Contemporary architecture, urban landscapes, and cities in Greece are characterized by a sense of the provisional, the unfinished, and a suspended state a state suspended between construction and decay.
In contrast to the timeless monuments and archaeological sites of ancient and medieval Greece, the unfinished concrete structures and houses scattered across the rocky landscapes of present-day Greece appear as relics of an unknown future.
The collage series created between 2015 and 2017 reflect my experiences with light, shadow, archaeology, and architecture while living in Greece. The works on paper combine ink drawing and frottage techniques, relating back to a series of cardboard sculptures I made more than ten years earlier, which explored architecture in abstract form (see below).
