GRETA SCHÖDL

BORN Hollabrunn, Austria, 1929
LIVES&WORKS Bologna, Italy

She is one of the most important female artists in the field of visual poetry. In her works she follows the sign labyrinth by writing in italic gothic characters, memories of her school experience, creating a fabric texture where letters and symbols interweave with geometrical shapes embroidered with wire and gold leaves. All these elements perfectly blend on different surfaces like books and different home objects such as bedsheets, pillow-cases and iron boards.
