Daniela Bergschneider

In Daniela Bergschneider’s recent sculptures hand formed ceramic shapes are worked into pre-dyed nylon fabric, two materials that oppose each other in texture, softness and visual appearance. It is in this duality that her artistic practice lingers between the organic and the synthetic, the animate and the inanimate. Coming across as creatures or even viruses, her sculptures are made to achieve the expression she calls Visual Tactility. This quest is characterized by using her studio as a laboratory to develop forms and surfaces that are charged with enough tactile and visual information to trigger the imagination into evoking an emotional response.
