Sandra Wörner
Sandra Wörner is a self taught German visual artist who works primarily with charcoal. Her practice centers on the physical qualities of paper—its surface, resistance, and absorbency—treating it as an active collaborator in the drawing process. By abrading the surface with sandpaper and embedding charcoal into the fibers, she creates dense, matte works where material and image merge. Through slowly built figurative drawings, often using handmade materials, Sandra explores themes of memory, vulnerability, and inner experience. Drawing, for her, is an act of mindfulness, a principle that also shapes her long standing teaching practice, grounded in observation and patience.
