Gabrielle Teschner

(b 1981, United States. Lives and works in 0)

Teschner is interested in the ways structural integrity is either preserved or disrupted in architectural forms. She draws comparisons between structural objects and structured knowledge; the stacking of information reliably and incrementally onto frameworks. Each brick and stair-step are a part of something larger; though complete in themselves. Teschner isolates these elements as a means of weighing their significance outside of the sum of their parts. She describes her latest work: “These drawings; toward sculptures; address the division of days into measurable hours””the squaring of a round globe. It is by this process that an arch or a dome is built; a curve composed of many straight lines.”
