They enter into a unity with the fabric, although this is not free from contradiction on the one hand is the often ephemeral, impermanent, frayed nature of the fabrics, on the other is the often harsh reality of the painted images. Maiwald’s works combine the effect of the material-fabric-with the effect of the images painted on them. This makes them similar to the fabric sculptures of the artist Rosemary Mayer, for example, but only similar, because Maiwald’s works are not limited to their material effect in the way Mayer’s are. They thrive on the soft material radiance of the flowing fabrics, which are often tattered at the edges and thus evoke a certain vulnerability.

Viewed from this perspective, Lotte Maiwald’s works are hybrid structures that defy any classical classification. They are scraps of the real world painted onto fabrics that are gathered together, attached to the wall, spread out on the floor, or shaped into flags and banners.
