Lily of the Lot
Acrylic ink on cotton muslin
Teschner’s latest work explores the significance of the lasting symbols of classical architecture, employing a vibrant polychromatic palette rooted in tropical botany and the Mediterranean quarry.
Constructed by joining planes of raw textile brushed with saturated ink washes, the process introduces misalignments and material loss. The resulting sculptures reflect the impact of weather and time on built objects, their boundaries, and surrounding space. Monolithic pillars, pedestals, and stairs gesture to Teschner’s interest in the essential forms required for building larger structures. Each composition is an expression of mass and gravity not normally associated with fabric.

“All of this for me, all of the references to architecture and math and humidity, are a way to talk about being in the world. An affirmation of existence or the inability to do so.”
