Thereness elective artist research:

I have become increasingly interested with working with illusion in some way.

Esther Stocker http://www.estherstocker.net/

“Italian installation artist Esther Stocker creates stunning geometric environments that can often be explored by the viewer. The construction of each piece appears to follow some type of strange equation, resulting in unusual linear patterns and planes that completely transform the physical space.”

“And yet it’s a trick to lure us in, to make us forget what we were thinking about a minute ago, to come closer and take a second look: manipulating the relationship between the painting and ourselves” http://lodownmagazine.com/features/esther-stocker

What kind of objects are those that we presuppose? (Quine) 
Was sind das für Dinge, die wir voraussetzen? (Quine)
Quali sono gli oggetti che presupponiamo? (Quine)

I really love the concept that this is a 'trick to lure us in'. Luring the viewer in is one of my own themes I am interested in and currently working with in my own studio work.
