Stellata Koppe

LGBTI+ - textiles - writing - gender

Stellata is an artist in transition. Her art practice changes along with her personal changes as a transgender woman. The focus of the sound art she previously made has shifted to textile weaving. In her experience, designing and developing fabrics is not much less technical or audible than her previous work. It resonates with her geeky personality. She loves weaving complicated patterns and working with bright colors. The issue that concerns her at the moment and that she wants to incorporate into her tissues is the oppressive experience she had when she ignored her gender identity, and the surprise she felt, and still does, at how much freedom she gave herself by revealing her real identity. acknowledge.
