Tilleke Schwarz


"Play with me" by Tilleke Schwarz.

HINT: Graphic and visual poetry.

"Composed of a number of seemingly unrelated images, which were mostly taken from daily newspapers, these graphics pictures strategically stitched onto linen cloth use all manner of threads, scraps of fabrics, lace and very special japanese green metallic thread in their depiction."* The work contains narrative elements, not really complete stories with a beginnign, a storyline, and an end. The narrative structures are used as a form of communication with the viewer.

*from the book TEXTILES NOW, by Drusilla Cole.
