Adelina Ivan works in a variety of media, from textile installations and painting to video, in search of new forms of more fluid relationship between domestic and public space, urban and natural or social space. Her artistic approach has geometry as a symbolic space of resistance against structures of power and dominant environments in relation to personal history and social abstraction. Her practice is developed on the relationship between geometry and space, using the grid structure seen as a critical frame of organizing and investigating memory. In this framework, she is working with forms that are usually associated with stability and order, through a series of folding and unfolding exercises view as tools for self-reflection, analysis of the inner, subjective world, and their expression in outer space.
