To End is To Start: Artistic Expression Using Repurposed Materials
‘To End is To Start’ by Johanna Tagada-Hoffbeck - A body of works created out of repurposed cotton fibres and water. The pieces were produced during Johanna’s residency in South India where she deepened her knowledge and practice of hand paper-making.
Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck (b.1990, Strasbourg, France) is a painter and interdisciplinary artist working across London, Paris and rural Alsace (France). Her practice composed of painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, film, photography and writing often conceals ecological messages, rendered in soft and delicate methods. In several of the artist’s projects interaction with the environment and others plays a central role. Solo exhibitions include Épistolaire Imaginaire – Merci at Galerie Jean-Francois Kaiser, and Take Care – きをつけてat Nidi Gallery. In 2014, Johanna founded the positive and collaborative cultural project Poetic Pastel. In 2018, the artist cofounded the publication series Journal du Thé – Contemporary Tea Culture.
