the hem comes undone

"What was supposed to be folding inside is unrolling outwards. Hems are probably something good. They are a sort of fat border. Borders with flesh, with a body of their own. An in-betweenness that lays claim to intermediacy" Fedele Maura Friede is the 8th winner of the prestigious Horst Janssen Graphic Art Prize of the Claus Hüppe Foundation. In works on paper, texts and large-format paintings, Friede deals with space and landscapes, ranging between microcosms and sweeping panoramas. Her works hint at a hidden narrative without being too literal or following a set story. To achieve this, she makes use of various forms of expression that combine drawing in a broader sense with writing, allowing them to enter into a dialogue.
