The edition FRANZISKA BORN X LG was developed on the occasion of the exhibition Lise Gujer. A new way of painting at the Brücke-Museum in Berlin, 2024/2025.The Swiss textile artist Lise Gujer (1893-1967) congenially translated Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's preliminary drawings into textile tapestries from the 1920s onwards. For the design of the two woollen scarves, I took up this process of co-creation and used two of Gujer's works as a starting point: I chose a small section from each of the tapestries Schwarzer Frühling and Blumenvase mit Katze, enlarged it and had the now abstract composition knitted as an intarsia. Zooming in on the detail of the weave celebrates the daring colour combinations and interlocking wool threads.
