As any good artist, or designer alike, knows the best way to make the most of your works and creations is by drawing on past experiences. How you have reacted to not only past situations, but spaces and locations too. How they have made you feel, the good the bad and even the scary. From the vertical walls to the horizontal floors Andrea Zittel uses these planes as a means of exploring how the elements of domestic and urban environments can combine to create a liveable and experiential instillation. How this can be experienced both physically and psychologically. By creating a series of structures these act as a series of moments to encourage a pause, a pause from the very busy, forever moving society we live in today. Vertical and horizontal planes at different levels are immediately viewed to have a specific purpose, through our connection to objects and spaces that we know from our day to day lives. Seeing a horizontal plane at 600mm off the ground we would think to sit on it, whereas a horizontal plane sitting at 1000mm we would view as a table like structure. These ideas of the domestic dwelling Zittel has experimented with throughout her planar series works.
