assessment and Prism 2012

the last assessment result came shortly before Christmas. I feel very proud done such a work under the circumstances of the new job and less time which had to be very well organized. 


Now the Prism exhibition 2012 is the next event and I have to work to the theme `hidden places´. Therefore I want to refine my soul vessels. 
Here the first result: 




This piece feels childishly - a little pocket in the inside. The graveness and simplicity get lost. I will go on working to find the hidden places in the vessels. 


This morning I saw an art film from agnes varda. She met Annette Messager and Boltanski for lunch. 
Both artists I love. For my final BA exhibition in June I will examine further Messager´s way of installation. 




Also Cornelia Parker uses hanging constructions for her work. Her work is also very inspiring. 




Tomorrow we will visit Fondation Beyerle in Bale, Switzerland. Louise Bourgeois work is exhibited in rethinking her 100 birthday.

Tate shot

the Tate newsletter presented a short film about Andy Goldsworthy

He says: "its interesting to observe as an artist" The material goes his own way. When I do my paper vessels - I have to react to the material - the material itself shows the way what is possible.

Also the slowness in this way of working: to observe, to reflect - meditative aspects is very inspiring.

my first posting

a new experience to blog - but it´s good to start. 


some words to my person: I´m a German student with University of Middlesex, London doing the BA(Hons)embroidery. My student group and I will finish our studies in June 2012 with an exhibition in the university gallery. 


Yesterday I send my work to the second last moderation. As every time it was a bit stress but at the same time I felt satisfied with the work. Of course there are things to refine further but it´s good for the moment. 


In May 2012 I hope to exhibit as a member of the PRISM textile group in London, Mall Gallery.

Edmund de Waal is one of the artists who inspired my last work. He is a well known ceramic and now also an author. Karla Black the Turner Prize winner 2011 as well as Eva Hesse have influence to my own work.
