Edda Seidl-Reiter's trademark are the twisted threads that run through all of your works. The textile expression in parlance finally led you to set up a textile card index, which you can find in your book “Alles ist Weben”. Edda Seidl-Reiter is a versatile artist whose willingness to experiment is reflected in her works. The range spans from photo embroidery (fairy tales with important or well-known personalities), the artistic processing and revision of a Bruckner fair, the use of corn leaves in pictures, the creation of jewelry and chasuble, interweaving objects (e.g. a Biedermeier gate), a network for the greening of a fire wall in the 6th district of Vienna up to its famous tapestries and pictures. “Traditional” biblical representations such as B. the stations of the cross occupy the artist. She was able to sell some works to the USA very early on. For example, two works went to the Los Angeles Times and their print shop. Other important works by the artist are in the UNO City in Vienna and at the registry office in Julbach (in the form of a wedding carpet).
