Teschner's formal aim is to disassemble the planes of common three-dimensional forms so that, when reassembled, their edges and lines form uncommon and irrational intersections. The process of cutting, painting and reconstructing material in her work echoes her conceptual interest in dismantling logic-structures in order to introduce new interpretations. Her attraction to using fabric has to do with its portability and flexibility. Constructing forms from this material has natural limitations that she uses to explore and reveal the concept of accumulating knowledge.
