Alice von Maltzahn’s work looks closely at our natural environment, while exploring themes of mapping, time and memory. Shapes shift and evolve - one recognisable form gives way to another - becoming interwoven and layered, resisting fixed readings.
Time and process are made tangible through the careful detail and construction of each piece. Densely layered paper works form sculptural planes that seek to re-animate the material.
Her thread works suggest the patterns found in tree bark while also feeling cartographic, as lines and channels of stitching form pathways across the surface. Visually the rhythm is fast and slow - single lines give way to large areas of densely stitched thread - leading and disrupting the eye. Just as the cambial layer of a tree generates new cells for growth and helps with repair, so here the layering up and stitching together of paper is an act of repair and renewal.
