  • "Right Turn on White", a 26 by 12 by 12 aluminum sculpture demonstrates Neijna's ability to produce a work of art that utilizes architectural space and complements the architecture around it.  Neijna's sculpture represents two essential characteristics of Minimal art: shape and color, as she uses the rectangle and arc as the fundamental shapes; and white as a basic color. The arc creates another dimension to the art, by creating shadows on the bottom half of the sculpture.
