In her large-format works, Anna Virnich makes use of various textiles and fabrics such as silk, tulle and satin which she secures to a stretch frame and uses to create abstract image compositions. She builds up a multi-layer interplay of overlaying structures across the picture surface. The soft and flowing fabrics are sometimes stretched tight, lashed in place, sewn down or fixed which is just as key to the image creation as the influence of the various lighting conditions which penetrate and reflect the image surfaces with varying degrees of intensity.
