About the Work

Kuhr employs an intentionally limited repertoire of mark as she erects and dismantles linear scaffolding. Beginning with the basic elements of introductory perspective, she intuitively realigns planes—arriving at spaces that both advance and retreat to produce a realm of disquieting spatial ambiguity. Kuhr describes her process as producing “new structures that create visual interest,” through “slight visual disruptions that emerge out of irregular geometries.” The overall impact is one of contemplative, measured activity.
