Overview

Jessi Strixner

Jessi Strixner (1992) was born in Munich and is currently living and working in Germany. 

She was raised in a family of traditionally woodcarving craftsmen. She has followed in these footsteps, but has taken it into the realm of the arts.

 

Catching textile in wood

Carved out of one piece of wood, Jessi recreates clothes in a humorous and whimsical way. She emphasises on the transformation of the soft fabric into the hard material giving it a special surface. By hanging the object on the wall, the cloth changes from a simple commodity into an iconic object that has an ability to relate to every viewer in a different manner.
