‘This large textile object has its very own materiality full of solidity and airiness. Strips of grounded painting canvas have been folded into squares and colorfully painted on one side. One end of each of these ,,packages” is attached to a woven framework, making them almost seem to stand alone. The two different white colors on the edges, the play of shadows and light of the neighboring elements and the dynamism of their arrangement result in a differentiated serial composition which contains an additional charm due to its sparse colorfulness. The clouds of gray threads on the edge create a contrast to the formal order of the piece.’
