Although his furniture pieces are constructed from commonplace objects, and are, therefore, obdurately present and mundane, they also offer the possibility of imaginative escape and mental projection. Whether they are doors, draws or wound-like slits, the openings that are so common in Theos work create an impression of interiority. Each object seems to offer the potential of entry to another parallel fictive space, the arena of Theos dream-world. But nothing is deliberately spelt out or obviously signalled. The exact meaning of the slit or the precise nature of the space under the bed is left open to speculation, but there is no doubt that his objects are concerned with aspects of human experience and imagination, and this is precisely what lends them their unsettling resonance.<br> <br> Sculpture commissions and information - info1@theoland.com<br> <br> Copyright © Theo Kaccoufa 2005.
