Germans know quilts mostly from watching US movies where old women in the countryside sit and sew. However, illustrator/designer Katrin Rodegast has quilted her “Soft Cover” with the help of computer technology, which took more than four months to complete. The result is a wall quilt featuring more than 270 stitched illustrations telling little stories about our contemporary life. The project was bestowed with several awards such as the “Red Dot Award” and will be on display from Saturday at the Neonchocolate Gallery. Alongside you’ll find some of her porcelain figures she collected from flea markets, repainted and rearranged into a new context. The exhibition “Craftwerk” will also show works by illustrator/graphic designer Tim Brackmann.
