Steps
Monika Haeussler-Goeschl
Germany
Inspired by the poem ‘Steps’ by Hermann Hesse.
‘…the world of spirit wishes not to fetter us
but raise us higher, step by step.‘
I used digital machine
knitting combined with hand dyeing with a natural dye (weld) to combine old and
new techniques.
After I worked many years in the textile industry as a garment technician and patter cutter I had the opportunity to study textiles in the UK. During my BA study I specialized in knit and continued for my MA at the Royal College of Art, London, which I finished in 2017.
Since then
and back in Germany I am working as a textile artist.
Artist statement
Generally I
enjoy working with different techniques, which I try to apply in a new way. For
this exhibition I chose knitted objects, which are knitted by hand, machine and
digital knitting machine.
I like to
combine traditional with temporary techniques to create a modern design. I love
the making process, and often I am inspired by materials and their capacities.
My work
tends to go 3 dimensional and I try to achieve volume and shape through
technique and material.
Working and
creating with my hands is important for me. And I believe that making something
with our hands is generally important for humanity, especially in our digital
times.
