Zwei Jahre, 2014\/15, lebte sie in Malawi, einem der \u00e4rmsten L\u00e4nder der Welt im S\u00fcdosten Afrikas. Dort kaufte sie die feinen Stoffe auf den M\u00e4rkten und bemalte sie nach einigen technischen Experimenten mit Acrylfarben. Voraus geht immer eine durchgearbeitete Tuschezeichnung. Neben gro\u00dfformatigen Bildern auf dem traditionellen Stoffma\u00df \u201etwo yards\u201c entstanden auch Rundbilder, sogenannte Tondi. Hierf\u00fcr sammelte die K\u00fcnstlerin Anfang 2017 in Malawi Chitenje mit Kreisformen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Sch\u00f6nheit der Frauen Malawis zusammen mit der Begeisterung f\u00fcr die subtilen Farben und raffinierten Ornamente der Stoffe sind ihre Inspirationsquellen:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Es ist jedes Mal eine neue verlockende Herausforderung, sich ebenso behutsam wie spielerisch dem Gegen\u00fcber, dem Stoff zu n\u00e4hern und sich w\u00e4hrend der Arbeit in einen h\u00f6chst respektvollen Dialog mit dem anonymen, afrikanischen Gestalter des Ornaments zu begeben &#8211; absolute Voraussetzung f\u00fcrs Gelingen der Arbeit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>W\u00e4hrend anfangs reine Portr\u00e4ts entstanden, gibt es nun auch Arbeiten zu gesellschaftsrelevanten Themen Malawis. Die Gruppe CHILD WOMAN verweist auf die Problematik der sehr jungen Frauen, die in den D\u00f6rfern traditionell fr\u00fch heiraten und zu fr\u00fch ihre Schulausbildung abbrechen. 2017 wurde in der Gesetzgebung Malawis das Alter f\u00fcr Heirat auf 18 hochgesetzt, ein gro\u00dfer Erfolg f\u00fcr die Frauenrechte. Die Arbeit ALBINISM bezieht inhaltlich die roten H\u00e4nde und Finger des Chitenje ein, um zusammen mit dem Bildnis einer zerbrechlichen, verletzlichen jungen Frau mit Albinismus auf die potenzielle Gef\u00e4hrdung dieser Menschen in Tansania und Malawi hinzuweisen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a
