The diversity of techniques used on woven surfaces starting from the same given structure and the multiple terminations and techniques used to depict images on textiles evidenced the need to carry out an exercise for comprehending the efforts deployed in each woven artefact of the Andes. This work is an attempt to constitute, from our culture, an instrument that allows communication with such a textile universe in its technical and perceptual conceptions. It initiates an approach to its multiple meanings.

Textile Forum Magazine

I started to publish Textile Forum magazine back in the eighties with the aim to create a platform for textile discussions among German-speaking textile artists/designers/makers, curators for textiles and lecturers/professors in textile education. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 it became necessary to take a look at the textile scenery in the whole of Europe and beyond. Today the magazine also exists in English and is co-published by the European Textile Network, an organisation with its secretariat at the same address as the magazine. The aim still is to open up a platform for textile discussion providing as much information on exhibitions, further education, competitions and professional textile developments as possible.
