The themes that continue to shape MAYO’s work become visible: space, surface, structure, and construction.
This phase is marked by a finely balanced analytical and playful attitude. The works trace the transition from experimental searching toward an inner order; one in which intuitive forms are translated into precise yet open structures.
From the beginning, MAYO has explored principles of order. OPEN SIGN is a multi-year body of work;
yet insisting that order always remains open.
“If one clings too tightly to a grid, the opposite of what was originally liberating occurs.
The grid becomes a cage – and one imprisons oneself.”
Mayo Bucher
From the series of “orientation images.”
MAYO poses questions without providing answers.
These sign-images open spaces for thought and experience, captivating through their complex simplicity.
