Signs of Hope
Pink clouds hang over green meadow pieces on the wall and on the floor. A green handbag and a pair of green shoes stand around
among the meadow pieces. They are made of shredded paper - relics of prescriptions and medical histories from a social club.
They provide a succinct and cautionary symbol of vulnerable nature, but also speak of the essential role that interaction
with nature plays in human health. Speak of the overlapping and interpenetration of nature and civilisation and undermine
the impression of an idyll of nature.
Well integrated
From the series ‘Well integrated‘. Red checkered garments made of characteristically Austrian cotton material. A suitable
choice for the immigrant wishing to demonstrate her willingness to integrate!
Flow
Seven round canvases, sky blue with colourful streaks of paint try to convey the impression of being in FLOW. The creative
flow that I love to get caught up in.
