“There is a structure in the way I work that has become more of a limitation, than an open door. With the excuse of this new show, I wanted to face the void. When you look at my previous work, there is a certain level of complexity. I realised if you focus on one material, like wood, eventually you realise there is the same level of complexity within that material.” – Kostas Lambridis
