Opposites attract. They say. The light and the heavy. Order and chaos. Cheerfulness and seriousness. The beautiful and the terrible. One without the other? It is uninteresting. Without tension.
Susanne Thiemann's sculptures consist of thin plastic tubes in monochrome colors, colorful electrical cables as well as thick strips of torn car tires.
Found objects and products produced in abundance that are difficult to decompose. Material that triggers many associations because we handle and use it almost every day. Susanne Thiemann uses one of the oldest techniques known to man - braiding and knotting.
She uses individual strands to create forms whose structure ranges from tightly woven skin to a loose network.
She plays with the rigid and the flowing, the self-contained and the tattered. Her sculptures relate to each other and also to the space that surrounds them. Sometimes they stand in the middle, sometimes they lie in a corner as shimmering, brightly colored soft machines or dangle from the ceiling as stocking-like tubes. Alone or in a group, they implement the principle of contrasts.
