Peter, Daniela

I live and work as an artist and graphic designer in Hohenems. My preferred artistic medium is photography. I make natural light photographs of puristic motifs such as plant leaf portraits and cloud formations and dive into matter and non-matter at the same time.

What interests me most is the widening of space.

In the works of the project "Possibilities like opposites one". With the series of photographs "Stony oak leaves rich in stone". "Transitorily enamored palm leaves" and "Magic gifted magnolia petals" form the mountain and valley folds of the paper sculptures, - which were created alongside the photographs during this period - strong contrasts to the flowing forms of the motifs in the paintings and yet form themselves in the textual into units of opposition. The series "Randerscheinungen" deals with the horizon, which, with the help of cloud structures, the interaction between two pictorial contents as well as the connection to the panorama, creates new visual forms. The mirroring of the original transverse motif creates symmetries which combine to form shapes and forms. The result is a three-part structure, which produces the strongest design elements in the middle section. In the last years many texts have been created which I as a designer (graphic artist) for the most part in my Papier&I project (Www.Dill.At). In past exhibitions textual and other such as paper works, nature sculptures, concrete castings have complemented and accompanied my photographic works. The textual is simple, reduced and poetic like the photography and often also in question form.
