Swiss artist Christina Niederberger (b. 1961) explores the languages of painting and textiles, focusing on how the practice has evolved in relation to traditional ideas of the masculine and feminine. Based in London, her work draws on the politics of the Bauhaus' weaving workshop (1919-1933) and references Penelope's weaving in Homer's Odyssey as symbols of empowerment, self-determination, and time.
Her slow, meditative practice resists the pace of modern life, creating a hybrid language of painting and textile. Niederberger's abstract yet tactile works pay homage to female artists and invite new perspectives on both mediums.
