Anja Schwoerer works with both textiles and paper, exploring how strict geometric shapes transform into soft, meditative forms. Using techniques like folding, dyeing, and bleaching, she begins with precise patterns that develop into luminous works in rich purples, magentas, and gentle pastel colors. In her textile paintings, she layers cotton mesh to create transparency, space, and depth. Her paper constructions continue these ideas, forming light and airy spatial compositions. Her work connects to the traditions of craft and modernist abstraction, such as those of Anni Albers, Agnes Martin, and Hilma af Klint, but she creates her own unique style, where the creative process with materials shapes both form and meaning.
