Description
Swiss artist Nesa Gschwend, born
1959 in St. Gallen, merges traditional crafts, such as embroidery,
knitting, and sewing, with avant-garde and performative artistic
techniques. Widely recognised as one of Switzerland's most distinguished
contemporary artists, her art also combines craft with philosophy. Her
textile works, material collages, videos, installations, and
participatory performances transform individual lived stories into
tangible metaphors for collective memory, for human existence itself.
This
new book features recent work by Nesa Gschwend. The essays explore her
approach and describe her humanistic aspiration to transform existential
questions into aesthetic reflection.
