In 2019, I worked for 3 months at the Internationales Sommeratelier Aschersleben. The history of the site, the former papierwarenfabrik incited me making new drawings. The information I gained from the city archive inspired me to work on a series of collages with pay envelope and photos  (also of the papierwarenfabrik).

A selection of these drawings was shown in the exhibition EN NU. Text accompanying the exhibition:

In these times when there is more attention for the shadow side of history and redefining it, women also come more into the light.

The woman in this series is drawn in white pencil on transparent paper, isolated from her surroundings. The woman emerges from her past. Because of the transparent paper, some of it can still be seen and discovered vaguely and fragmentarily. The rectangular area of the pay packet is her boundary. While the past vaguely disappears into the background, she seems to come forward and has to find her way again within new frameworks.
