work in progress
The development of the textile work took place during summer 2023. The work was preceded by a thorough research on plant dyes. The focus was on yellow coloration achieved by using plants that grow in the area of the Baltic Sea in the North of Germany.
It posesses properties of a swing cloth/parachute, which is a popular game for children. It demands a group of people to hold the cloth and bring it into motion.
‘Rührung’ is an attempt to express a feeling of connectedness.
It may join the notions of grounding and constant change.
