Artwork description: The work deals with the major theme of fairy tales and myths - in particular a fairy tale in the German-speaking culture - Frau Holle. In it, a girl loses her spinning wheel-spindle at a well. She dives after it into the well to retreive it and enters the so-called Otherworld. There she is tested, has to do tasks and is prepared for the world to serve life. Frau Holle, the old wise woman, stands by her side and teaches her the secrets of life. On her return, she is given a golden spindle and can thus spin her own thread of life. The spindle has a powerful meaning. But how do we spin our thread of life nowadays, our destiny - our own and the greater considering actual crisis and challenges? The golden spindle as an antithesis to the powerlessness, to the narratives that are still far too often told in classic in fairy tales such as the stabbing by the spindle and the subsequent rescue of a prince, etc. This fairy tale is different. It encourages you to find and walk the path yourself. It encourages us to shape the world, to change it and to actively take part in this process. In the city of Graz, where I live, there is an area in the forest on the outskirts of the city where chunks of glass from an abandoned glass bottle production company are buried. My practice makes use of walking in the forest and digging up these remnants. The forest is also often a place where fairy tales and initiations take place. I collect, clean and cast this glass from the forest into a new form. In this way, the cultural heritage and history of glass production in the city becomes visible, as does the intangible cultural heritage of the ancient tales of our peoples in the form of the spindle. The work also shows a relic of the production line, in the form of a sandstone with glass coating, which completes the work.
