She perceives her artistic practice as an open field.
She is interested in sitespecific installations,
producing clay sculptures, aluminium and silicon objects.
Theresa Tuffner explores how we negotiate with our consciousness
towards of nature and use our sensitivity, to perceive our environment.
The installations refer to transitions between natural and artificial objects.
In doing so, she works with the principle of collage,
for example, using specially produced works of art various media and everyday objects compiles crossreferencing allegories together,
the relationship between the “primal” nature and the impact of
accelerated new globalised world.
She deals with the question of how mankind deals with nature and
what we understand as „natural“.
It is about the artificialization of our environment and reality, about realities in the material and illusionistic idealizations of our existence.
In the process, the location of the installed and the arrangement of the objects can be seen in context with the architecture.
As a kind of erased behavioral memory or as an artistic meditation
the artist adopts a distanced attitude and observes passing currents,
materials, conditions, human needs, manners, everyday rituals,
and spiritual concerns.
