Business, Cleverly Disguised as Pleasure

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.
