At the Center for Interdisciplinary Research at the University of Bielefeld, Kathrin Graf is showing two series of works, layers and Enzyklopädie, from her current production.
The installation of various objects and materials provides an insight into how the artist uses existing visual material in an experimental way by transforming, layering, and re-contextualizing it to create new works.

All pieces of the series Enzyklopädie are based on an arthistorical reference that is transfered on a waxed wood panel. When designing the „encaustic-picture-objects“ the reference changes to an autonomous piece.
