texere [weben]
Sebastian Winkler ist Künstler, Schriftsteller und Kurator. Der vorliegende Band versammelt eine Auswahl seiner poetischen Arbeiten der letzten zehn Jahre. Konzeptuell eng verwandt sind Winklers Textarbeiten mit seinem künstlerischen Werk, in dem er vertraute Materialien, wie Draht und Textilien, durch verschiedene Transferverfahren in abstrakte Werke überführt.

They thus form an appropriate tribute to Professor Gale R. Owen-Crocker, whose own scholarship has focussed on exploring woven works of textile and dress, manuscripts and text, and other arts of the Anglo-Saxon peoples.
