Ursula Suter
Galerie art textil sent, Sent, CH
04.06. - 19.06.2022

In June 2022, the textile art gallery "art textil sent" will show the works of felt maker Ursula Suter from Mülligen in Aargau. The artist is interested in structures in the surface, in transparency and density, in light and shadow and also in spatiality. She experiments, researches and finds (invents) technical possibilities to create wonderfully light, airy works from wool. She also manages to do very large works, which is rare in felt art. Felting requires a lot of endurance and physical effort.

 

In the 3-year course "Felting" at the Ballenberg Cultural Centre and in semester courses at the Zurich School of Design (now the University of the Arts), the social pedagogue and kindergarten teacher has acquired the necessary tools for her work. Since her retirement, she has been able to invest much more time in her artistic work.

What results from this is really impressive!

Vessels, light objects, large and small sculptures, but also exciting structures in the surface impress the viewer – all in an minimalistic use of colours.
