I take a thread and go for a walk with it - the gallery book of textile artist Gerlinde Merl invites you to a varied stroll through her diverse works and provides all textile enthusiasts with instructions to recreate them. "I translate color tones into surface design as well as my ideas and dreams into images," says Gerlinde Merl about her textile artworks. These are characterized by the vibrant colors of her hand-dyed fabrics and their unique surface structures. For this, she developed special techniques or transformed well-known crafts into modern variations. She not only sews, but also weaves, gathers, folds, felts, crumples, etc. The Austrian artist lives her art in everyday life: during spiral runs in the snow, as a fashion designer of her own clothing, or as a landscape architect, enveloping tree trunks in nature.
