Siah Armajani's Architectural Sculptures Invite Mental Exploration

Siah Armajani draws almost exclusively from architecture for his artistic inspiration. His sculptures incorporate construction elements and furniture pieces like walls, windows, cornices, stairs, benches, and tables. These works directly address viewers, inviting them to enter mentally into always-open labyrinths. The sculptures possess a powerful attraction precisely because they reject both child and adult scales while also refusing the status of models. Armajani's approach creates structures that exist in a unique dimensional space between sculpture and architecture.
