Wall hanging made from inherited family linen. The big roll of raw linen found its way to me through my mother who had inherited it from her mother who had been given it as part of her dowry when she married my grandfather a south German farmer. Fabrics like these were supposed to be made into night gowns, bed linen, cushion covers and the like. The women would sit by the fire during the dark time of the year and do their 'needle work' stitching their hopes and dreams into the fabric. And that's exactly what I'm doing, 100 years later. Thinking about all the generations of strong women before me and whispering a silent thank you. This is a series of wall hangings made in this fashion. Acrylic paint along the center fold and hand embroidered fabric symbols. Finished with eyelets and signed at the back.

I was born in southern Germany, Bavaria. After becoming a professional tailor in Munich I went on to study fashion design in Berlin but soon found out that I needed more freedom to express myself and changed to Fine Art/Sculpture and never looked back since. I studied fine art with lots of amazing teachers at Weissensee Art school Berlin, Ecole des Beaux Arts Paris, Städelschule Frankfurt and Goldsmiths College London. I like to expand my studio practice through occasional collaborations with other artists and collectives. I also enjoy holding art workshops for students and families. My work has been shown internationally and is present in several collections like the Collection of the German National Bank, Cusanuswerk Bonn, a private bank at the Temple London, several private collections in Germany and the UK. I am living at the English south coast in Folkestone, after leaving London a few years ago with my family.
