Cross Sections was a site-responsive exhibition that explored the relationship between interior and exterior spaces in a public space. The artwork is composed of handcut vinyl on the windows, and pasted screenprints on the walls, mimicking advertising and sign posters. The layers of the geometric shapes allowed a visual illusion to occur as the artwork seemingly 'moves' when the viewer walks past it.
The urban scenery was reflected on the windows to draw parallels between the motifs of the artwork and the architectural details of the surrounding buildings. Occupying an advertising space, the installation questioned the use of graphic language in public spaces, asking what is the distinction between advertising, street art and design?
