German artist Silke Schatz's drawings, collages and sculptures reflect her interest in architecture as both a public and private space. Recent work is informed and inspired by the German artist and teacher Ewald Mataré whose utopian public artworks and sculptures evoke a period of pure celebration within the cultural life of a city.
