“Sie ist gerichtet” - Needlepoint embroidery - 55x110cm - Handspun wool on canvas
This piece is part of a cycle of contextual works, the narrative of which is inspired by the cultural, musical and political history of the city of Leipzig and the Saxon region.
_____________________________________________________________________
Distorting Christian symbolic, this tapestry encodes struggles of queerness, sexual identity and ideology.
Inspired by anonymous Germanic woodcuts with biblical and peasant subjects, this embroidery is rooted in the cultural context of the German regions of Saxony and Thuringia.Made from the fleece of black and white sheep from Schubert's Milchhafhof, located in Nossen, in the heart of Saxony, the thread used for this tapestry was spun with a spinning wheel (by the artist) and then passed through the canvas with a needle. The figurative subject matter is inspired by the nature surrounding the place where the tapestry was created.
On the edge of the Plamengarten pond in Leipzig in the midst of various plants, a ribbon is twirling in the wind. It looks as if it were clasped onto an absent body. The inscription "Sie ist gerettet" comes from the last sentence of Goethe's Faust, when Gretchen, wanting to atone for her crime, is saved by God. Who here has been saved, and of what ? Were they saved through death, or simply dematerialised ? What elements, symbols, can be observed in relation to a body/soul dichotomy ? Was their soul freed of their body, whose sexual organs are hidden in the tapestry ? The picture is constructed like a riddle, the key to which is hidden in the bottom right. There lay the ‘Agnus Dei’, a recurrent symbol in christianity which usually depicts a lamb bearing a cross. Twisting the usual symbolic here, the lamb bears a spindle in lieu of cross. Symbol of purity and absolver of guilt, the lamb is also a prey, subject to the danger of the wolf, to the exploitation of man. To the artist, textile work and wool spinning becomes an opportunity to appropriate the symbolic of the lamb, and use it as a vehicle to freedom. Freedom from sexual norms, gender roles and productivity incentives, in an exploration of oppressive catholic morals.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, Miserere nobis.

Black and white hanks and skeins of plied twine. The wool is spun in the grease with a spinning wheel (origin Torgau,Sachsen). The wool comes from the sheep at Schubert’s Milchschafhof, Nossen, Saxony.
