*H Project Space is very pleased to announce the third installation. Jedsada describes his site-specific practice as “an examination of the parts of a structure that renders that particular space different from others. Each space has its own character. I use the distinctive parts of a space as the starting point for my art”.
For *Twist*, the artist was inspired by the lattice feature that functions as a natural air vent for the room. Further to repeated visits, Jedsada considered its proximity to the ceiling and consequently noticed the typically unnoticed traces of spiders and their webs. Seeing acorrespondence between these forms and the diagonal, diamond shapes of the lattice, he has created complex structures that are integrated with the architecture while seemingly trying to break free. The cool elegance of H Project Space is simultaneously announced and disrupted, as *Twist* shifts between the formalist and metaphorical.
