For Niederhausen art
has diverse forms. Whether she works in etching or approaches
printmaking in a more experimental manner, whether she alters books
transforming them into sculptural objects or mixed media paintings, her
concern is the expression of an idea, a balance between emotion and
intellect.
Her work is
influenced by various places that she has lived in (Wanderjahre) or
encountered while traveling, and reflects her interest in other
cultures. Richly layered surfaces taking on archeological qualities and
fragments of imagery allow us to fade to another place and time. The
result is works that are at once sensual, allusive and analytical.
