Sabine Bieli

Born in Basel, Switzerland, I studied at the 'Schule für Gestaltung' before working for the costume and stage props workshops of the 'Basler Stadttheater' (Theatre Basel).

The experience from work on building sites, in a fine mechanics workshop, and as a nurse aid in hospital all have influenced my practice as an artist. In 2001 I moved from Basel to Hull, England, where I now work and live.

Most of Bieli's work could be described as Spatial Drawings:

"Thread is the staple of my work. I use it - or the warp released from the loom - to draw in the third dimension. The warp as a not yet fully materialised fabric hovers somewhere between matter and thought.

This pending dynamic state is shaped by light as an integral part of my work."

"There's a visible world and an invisible one. I try to touch the surface where they meet."
