Reto Pufler creates installations that focus on the relationship between the body and nature. The work begins through extracting natural pigments (colours) from plants and applying dye onto hand-sewn fabrics. For example, recycled bedsheets, paper and wood. The objects that Pufler creates are tent-like structures that create a universe that embodies the transformational possibilities of nature.
