Orgin:

Field Notes:

Ropes leather brass and wood reference historical details while forming new suspended grids

Defining Moment:

The installations where lamps screens and knots occupy double height spaces like inhabitable drawings of craft lineages

Leonor Antunes

(

1972–

)

Antunes built a world where craft traditions become spatial diagrams — woven lines, knots, and suspensions translating history into structure.

Her installations clarify form as inherited geometry.

Structural Focus

Space as Drawing

Line, frame, or interval organizes space instead of filling it. Structure is articulated through placement rather than mass.

In Leonor Antunes’s work, this approach appears where spatial line references architectural memory.

Material Intelligence

Material behavior actively determines structural decisions.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Material

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

Space

Space is structured through openings, intervals, and boundary conditions.

Structure

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

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Contemporary

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.
