Francisca Bauza

Francisca Bauzá Förster was born in Krefeld, Germany. She studied Gemstone and Jewellery Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Trier, IdarOberstein and at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. Additionally she is currently studying Cultural Sciences at the Distance University Hagen. Her Spanish and German background has influenced her work in various ways.
This is stressed in the way she uses the material textile which is an essential part in her works. "The material textile reveals emotions which are strongly connected to my own life and the human body itself. In my pieces I use textile in a direct way or I communicate the idea of its versatile language throughout another material. This feminine material which carries feelings of security is strongly alive.
When it comes in relation to the human body they affect themselves and are shaped by this interrelation. Textile folds which are draped around our body express and shape our inner surface. These folds communicate the inner strength of a person.
They turn the human body around to emphasis their inside."
