Silvia Bächli (born 1956 in Baden) is a Swiss artist who, since the late 1970s, has committed to
drawing as a continuous practice that is deeply dependent on and entangled with her body and its movements, both within the domestic sphere and the landscape. Her drawings, which she sees as words or notes with which she composes "musical phrases" on the wall,
can be read as traces of sensorial records—a walk on a field, a body that aches, a poem that triggers—and corporeal gestures—the extension of the arm, the strength of the hand or the rhythm of the brushstroke.
