Santiago, Chile, b. 1962
Patricia Waller is known for her bright cartoon style crochet work that often has a macabre element to it. Her works have been collected by numbers of renowned collectors and museums in Europe. "Due to the technique of crocheting - all my works are produced by myself in handcraft, and the selection of the subject-matter, my works seem harmless at first sight, but if you take a closer look, you will discover biting irony and a strong dose of nastiness." says Waller.
Waller received her MFA in sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1990. She was a lecturer at the University of Applied Science in Pforzheim, Germany from 2002 to 2004; also at the Textile Department in the Institute for Art and Art History at the University of Cologne, Germany from 2003 to 2004/2007.
