Fragments 44

Nike Schroeder (b.1981), a multi-disciplinary fiber artist born in Germany and now based in Los Angeles, has spent over 15 years refining a unique approach to textile art. Her technique involves loosely suspending delicate rayon threads over custom-made panels, creating an intimate interplay between material and form that showcases her profound understanding of the fiber’s tactility, movement, and color. Integrating mixed media and machine embroidery, her stitches serve as an expressive extension of the paintbrush, adding depth and nuance to her work. Schroeder's signature hanging threads create subtle color gradations that bring a layered, immersive quality to her installations.

Schroeder's work has been exhibited at Walter Maciel Gallery in Los Angeles, California, GudbergNerger Gallery in Hamburg, Germany, Jack Fischer Gallery in San Francisco, California, Nadelwald in Berlin, Germany, Bahnhof Ottersberg, in Ottersberg, Germany, and has participated in numerous group exhibitions.
