Building Places

The existence of a “Place,” defined as a space where memories and the physical location where we share these memories are symbiotic, is essential to Arveil’s art concept. Her creations are meant to celebrate a space and a presence. Buildings, paintings, sculptures or written texts, last as themselves. Ephemeral installations remain in the memory of a shared moment. Arveil composes art pieces meant to be discovered and enjoyed over time: the lacquer reveals different images as the light changes; rooms in her buildings appear differently from varied angles and as they accommodate different uses; her flower compositions reveal their lines twice, first, in the fragile life-span of the vegetal, then when the underlying architecture appears, as the fading flowers are removed. The dimensionality of Arveil’s works flows and shapes itself at the cross paths of performance, installation and contemplation.
