At the Threshold brings sculpture and drawing into a shared investigation of structures that approach use without resolving into it. The work is developed through forms that suggest support, frame, platform, and passage, elements that invite recognition while remaining difficult to confirm.
The sculptures are constructed through cutting, assembling, and casting in bronze, and are intended to keep the conditions of making visible. Seams, joins, compressions, and layered cardboard surfaces are retained so that fabrication remains legible rather than concealed. These decisions aim to produce objects that appear organised yet do not settle into a single operational logic: a seat may be implied without becoming occupiable; a frame may suggest ascent without allowing it; a base or figure may stabilise while also gathering interruptions. In this way, structure is treated as an active threshold, something that registers contact and weight, and holds function close without securing it.
The drawings extend this enquiry in a parallel register. They combine structured cues—lines, geometric arcs, measured marks, with material incidents such as drips, tears, overlays, and saturation shifts. Rather than illustrating sculpture, the drawings are used to test how relations form and fail to stabilise: how measurement can be proposed and unsettled, and how alignment can remain provisional.
Across both media, the intention is to maintain a sustained interval where recognition remains possible but incomplete. The work approaches the uncanny as a condition of near-plausibility, where forms appear to almost agree with themselves, yet remain held at the threshold of resolution.
