Artist Reviews:
„…Many of Ulli Frings works of
art show that she is
fascinated by all sorts of
fabrics – materials that are
carefully selected because
they relay certain messages to
the audience…“ (Kathrin
Misera-Lang, Exhibition
Catalogue, November 2001).
„…I also sensed there was a
strong desire to integrate
into this culture...
