Regula Baudenbacher has been an artist of international renown for over forty years.

She is best known for her work with handmade paper made from recycled materials, which she uses both as surface for paintings as well as sculptural medium in its own right.

Regula’s most ambitious work to date was the memory stone 2001 – 2002, in which she collected all printed materials that came into her household over the course of exactly one year, then reworked them into a carpet of over-dimensional sheets of paper – total size of the carpet was approx. 900 square feet – which was installed in the gardens of a Swiss castle. After one month-long exposure to the elements, as well as visiting animals, the material was gathered up and reworked once again into a large cube – 365 days of newspapers, advertisements, personal letters - that is to say, 365 days of history - processed and transformed. Little did she know at the start of the project on September 1st 2001 what historically significant year it would turn out to be.

The small memory stones are based on the same concept, except the unit of history, and therefore the end product, is much smaller – they are made from all the paper that enters her house in the course of one week.

Regula lives and works in Heiden, Switzerland.
