STUDIO 31




In November of 2010 me and Larry Achiampong were invited to create a live 3-day happening in Katerina Botsari's studio. Katerina asked as to interact with her space and work, using audio and visual elements. I created a mixed medium site-specific installation which was my reaction to the specific space. Once again space directed my solution by triggering my intuition.

View of the studio before the happening.




Inside the studio there was an overabundance of large abstract paintings, bold fabrics, tools, furniture and other materials. Initially i found it hard to function within the given frame. My instinctual reaction was to find a way to separate myself and then i started to work further into the idea of border.

Mixed medium installation made by found and ready-made objects,  painting and drawing on the wall.


Barbed wire, piece of wood, acrylics, colored pencils.




The installation turned out to be an investigation into the concepts of limits and the relationship between the in and the out.
