Inka Bell: To and Fro

Inka Bell‘s delicate yet edgy solo exhibition explores liminal spaces between two- and three-dimensionality. 

The show consists of paper sculptures and collage-like works whose essence lies in the dynamic between geometric forms and the material and technique. 

Even with their echoes of minimalism and concretism, the works are nevertheless unmistakably, playfully, insightfully Bell’s own. They are subtle events of transition, repetition, and transformation where two surfaces come together again and again.

The exhibition’s title, To and Fro, is like hint to the viewer: as one moves through the space, the works’ subtle insights, clever diversions, and optical events become activated; patterns and colours come to life, something happens before one’s eyes, the brain gets a jolt. 

The elements in the works live in all sorts of directions, repeating, turning, rotating, stretching or falling into a rhythmic relation with what came before. 

Changes and transitions become visible in the relationship between the image and its outline. The components can be arranged in countless ways, rhythms, and combinations. 

As she works, Bell herself navigates among the potentialities of the piece, returning to and drifting away from the original idea, and perhaps discovering something new along the way.
