CHRISTA SCHMIDEHRLINGER

“Writing, hand gestures, playing with graphic elements, signs, the spiral characterize my way of doing things. Approaching the line with an unusual tool, sewing and metal threads, was my goal. After having experimented and drawn for a long time with threads, my subject of study was the form. I linked my idea of “line” to the notion of “gesture,” individual and typical for each man. The idea of giving volume to my graphics is predominant. Not only the visible movement of my hand is important, but also the invisible movement felt in my interior.”

Christa SchmidEhrlinger was born in Backnang, BadenWürttemberg, Germany. She pursued studies in German and French language and later delved into the world of arts and paintings.
