"As a starting point for her explorations, the artist sometimes uses concrete spatial experiences as a starting point, which are reflected in the titles of her works. However, they follow less a systematic approach than loose strands of association, to which the viewer can in turn attach his own impressions. Placed in an art space, Abuschenko's paper objects link this space visually with the evoked context of their creation. They thus guarantee a cross-fading of two worlds that subliminally come into constant friction with each other and conjure up a sphere that cannot be permanently assigned to either place. A state of suspension of the viewer in which, constantly moving, it is carrying out what can perhaps be regarded as Abuschenko's greatest achievement: the sounding out of spaces as a playful recreation of the imaginary."
