Explorations of Nothing > The Space In-Between Private and Public > Sketch no.10

Sketch no.10 is an oil stick sketch on archival archival paper, measuring 16" x 20 ", of a space between Toronto's public and private property.

The urban gridis comprised of autonomous structures placed in sequence. The leftover spaces between these structures consist of a network of gaps. Essentially, they are architectureʼs negative spaces, invisible yet essential presences that bring balance to compositions and strengthen their design. As in-between spaces without any particular functional designation, their use is open to interpretation and infiltration. In-Between Spaces is an abstract 2-Dimensional interpretation of the gaps and openings around the city that make up the urban environment, challenging viewers to re-examine their physical surroundings. This project seeks to create a dialogue between architectural intentions and the processes by which society appropriates space. Its minimalist use of form and materials also position the sculpture as an artefact, or a monument, to the most neglected and unnoticed areas of our surroundings
