Veronika Moos-Brochhagen

Veronika Moos is a German textile artist. She was born in Bensberg, Germany and lives and works in Cologne, Germany, and Audinghen, France. Moos-Brochhagen studied art at the Academy of Art in Mainz, Germany (class Prof. E. Knoche-Wendel), philosophy and German, also at the University of Mainz, Germany. In 2007, she did her dissertation/PhD ("Transparenz der Verhüllung - die Unschärfe der Wahrheit. Eine Studie zur Sinnlichkeit von textilem Material in der Kunst am Beispiel alter und neuer Hungertücher“) at the University of Cologne, Germany. Moos-Brochhagen works with or without textile materials. Often she uses a special kind of Shibori-technique.
