Spring 2020 — Light made structural; weightlessness rendered monumental

Bahnsen turns air into architecture.

Organza and taffeta fold into quiet volumes where innocence becomes discipline.

Her dresses float yet hold space, creating sculpture out of light.

In her world, emotion gains gravity through form.

Structural Focus

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Cecilie Bahnsen’s work, this approach appears where volume and restraint soften structure through lived bodily presence.

Position

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Cecilie Bahnsen’s work, this approach appears where volume and restraint soften structure through lived bodily presence.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Form is constructed around the body through material, proportion, and movement.

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Balance as rhythm

Silence as luxury

In Dialogue

Ornament as empathy

Intimacy as structure
