Corinne describes her approach:
'Matea Bakula and Ruta Butkute's exhibition invited me to play and create. Some works are inconspicuous and seem to come out of the wall, others invite you to touch and even distort them. It made me think by this of my childhood and how everything then seemed malleable. Play always took precedence. Perhaps I was a better maker then, I thought as I walked through the exhibition. Or am I romanticising childhood too much then?
I was inspired by those thoughts, and the shapes of the circle and wall objects can also be recognised in the text. As often in my work, I start from a personal hook, on which I hang the themes that also belong to the exhibition. Based on the text, I made a performance.'
