Title: Green Goddess

handmade textile art, handweaving and silkpainting

50 x 50 cm, 1 of series of 6 , 2018/2025

700€

I self-taught myself hand weaving in 2015, creating several woven wall art pieces and subsequently also teaching this beautiful craft at several locations in Berlin Germany. An exhibition followed at Ako Berlin, a community space and café in Prenzlauer Berg Berlin, which sadly no longer exists. This experimental series was part of my Goddess research, a playful take on the ancient nomadic symbols and an expression of an organic entity. It took me a long time to figure out how to present this series. I thank artist Emily Hunt and BAI Institute for helping me to look at silk painting with fresh eyes! Each weaving is now mounted onto silk painting. In contrast to the more rigid woven artwork, I added a jazzy loose automatic-drawn frame. Happy with this! It can now be more easily exhibited and preserved in an object frame.

Would you like to see the wild backside of this woven artwork? Please contact me here

Title: Blue swatch

handmade textile sample, appx height 18 cm, 2003

Between 2000 and 2014, I worked as a freelance textile designer for London based studios. During this time period, I have created over 1200 unique handmade textile samples, many of them sold to high end clients in the fashion industry. Some samples are more artistic and experimental, and serve me for further project ideas, such as this example.

If you are interested in a collaboration or commission of textile art, please contact me here

Title: 3 Muses

handmade miniature clay figurines ,appx height 10-13 cm, 2019

900€ (total of 3 pieces)

These small figurines are from a series I produced as part of my investigation into Goddess mythology and Eco-Feminism, exploring the symbolic function of Goddesses in past societies inspired by the research of Dr Jean Shinoda Bowen. I became fascinated by Dr. Marija Gimbutas and her research of Neolithic and Bronze Age Goddess cults of Old Europe. I created drawings and small objects inspired by her findings.

What ancient Goddess(es) do you recognize in these figurines? Let me know here

Title: Into the woods

handmade miniature object with found items, semi

precious stones / 1999

When living in London, I missed the landscapes and wilderness of my childhood. I added precious stones and jewelry I collected when i was as a child to earth and a branch I found on a travel to the Alps. In some way, this represents for me a longing and ode to the innocence of childhood...This object was part of an installation of several objects, including notebooks with photographs from the forest. Shown in a group exhibition in London with the title

"Into the woods" 1999.

What is a beautiful memory or object you associate with your childhood? Please share with me here.
