The weaving is structured orthogonally between warp and weft. A strict thread grid serves as the foundation for the fabric. In "strapaziert und entschieden" viewers witness a power struggle between the two directions of warp and weft. The thread framework is deformed by tension and pull. The predetermined structure surrenders to the weft thread. Tension created by the weft thread generates variations in geometry. Gaping voids, distortions and deformations emerge. The four right angles of the steel frame cannot withstand the tension of the delicate fabric and deforms. The open thread ends on the back provide insight into the complex interplay of the many different threads coming together to form a whole.
