Being both an architect and artist, Ioanna deciphers and brings to the foreground the inner qualities of physical environments. In her work, she defines and isolates the concepts of time-space and the experience of transition.
​
Ioanna plays with the perception of natural boundaries, while creating new ones. Her work explores the notion of flowing and the reading of natural places as decoded spaces.

Statement
Through my research and personal exploration, I try to define the concepts of time, space, path and transition experience.
​
During the investigation and management of an area, I take note of the data consistent with a purely physical -and not artificial- region.
​
The relationship with the natural landscape rigorously and inadvertently creates a physical and mental connection with the existing space.
Moving in the natural environment I mark through the memory, creating paths from successive points in the space.
​
With the use of a mirror, I am trying to create a new area on the basis of the elements determining the existing space, replacing them in the area of origin. The attachment or embolism part of an image to another, has the effect of creating a new reality, a new vital area.
Construction shows my desire to give meaning to the idea of ​​transition.
Sometimes I think it is a pass, the threshold of transition from one region to another. The work, in other words, is defined as three-dimensional writing.
