Keywords
Space - the area around, between, and within objects. It can be physical, like a room, or it can be visual
Barrier - things that block, separate, or divide spaces, people, or ideas
Threshold - a point of transition between two spaces
Liminal - means in between; it describes a space, time, or feeling that is on the threshold between two things
Common misconception
Inside and outside just means indoors and outdoors.
Inside and outside can also mean emotional states, identity, or private vs public. Artists use space, scale, and materials to explore physical and psychological boundaries.
