Description:Objekt, Wolldecke mit Baumwollfutter, darauf Blaudruck und Stickerei, Ed. 1/6. Die Arbeit war Teil des Kunstprojekts „Bivacco“ anlässlich der 58.

Hist. crit. notes:In this work Walcher likens the cross-border paths that shepherds have been using for centuries to take sheep to new pastures to the escape routes of migrants in Europe. The artist prints the migrant routes on the cotton lining of the woollen blankets using the traditional blueprint method. By hand she than embroiders the sheep tracks. Her lines create a kind of constellation representing a point of orientation and a symbol of hope for mountaineers, shepherds and refugees. (In: Bivacco, catalogue to the exhibition, 2019)
