Bettina Schroeder Website
Bettina Edith Schroeder studied Fine Art in Dartington. Her undergraduate studies were in Fashion and Textiles and a love of textiles is still reflected in her work, the inspiration coming from human conditions and emotions such as happiness, longing, nostalgia, identity and otherness, hopes and wishes, psychology and explorations of the mind. She has a close interest in human anatomy and often uses parts of the human body as metaphor for psychological states and emotions. Past topics have included alcohol abuse and death, the pursuit of happiness, the need to travel, encounters and the human spine.
Bettina works mainly with textile materials in the broadest sense, including metals, plastics, latex and plaster, to create pieces which often combine a traditional aspect with a more experimental element. The aim is to create a visually compelling experience for the viewer, which still leaves room for discovery.
