The works of the Tuch (Cloth) series by Isa Melsheimer consist of sheets of old curtain fabric, found and embroidered by the artist. The surface of the fabric preserves the signs of its use, such as folds, stains and faded fields of color. 

 

The embroidery added by the artist introduces a new narrative into this 'naturally-created' abstracted landscape of a worn-down cloth.
