Minne Kersten is an artist that conducts research simultaneously through making and reading.
This work shows her interest in the ways in which people relate to architectural structures and their immediate living environments. She analyzes spaces as psychological constructs, referencing theories such as Stone Tape theory and place memory, which argue, among other things, that certain spaces are permanently affected when emotional or traumatic events occur.
