Turnstile is one of several series of tiles whose linear, planar, or volumetric form emerges or extends from the wall. Turnstile turns perpendicular to the wall, peeled up to reveal a stratum of paper & a space between, emphasizing their thinness & the appearance of one as the shadow of the other. The Bagsvaerd Kirke by Jørn Utzon in Copenhagen, Denmark is the principal inspiration, as well as tileworks by Babs Haanen & Wayne Higby particularly the palette of blue & white.
