An essential component of the artistic confrontation is textile and also fashion. Fashion, which

always arises from the social rootedness of human nature, is cultural expression and selfrepresentation,

is inclusion and demarcation, can be a symbol of being uniformed or of standing

out. Fashion is textile in an identity-creating framework: it connects, separates, defines and

opens. Textile, for its part, is always already an image and, as a material, consequently joins

coding tendencies. The artist identifies these codings, which intersect personal and cultural

experiences and memories, as equally important as the visual material for her work. A critical

examination of the meaning of form, fabric as well as a supposedly gender-specific craft practice

opens up the works on display with regard to questions of socialization, belonging and identity.

The dressing of objects (but also of fabric) in fabric, the provision of patches as well as isolated,

small pins here and there, emancipate the works self-reflexively from classical arts and crafts and

also stereotypical housewifely contexts. As a result, the textile bodies become persiflages of

presupposed manifestations of meaning.
