Every time I open the door of the UPSpace studios, I am permeated by a smell of old theatre, the kind of space that is in danger of extinction. My sculptures, of old textiles and found and rescued objects, speak of this atmosphere suspended between indifference and oblivion. What lies beneath the surface of our existences? UPspace is for me an Under space, full of wonders and surprises.
