Wrappers are boundary of internalisation, feelings, sensitivities , experiences, vulnerability. They are protection and sheath against the exterior, but at once offer and invitation for the spectator to unveil the mantling. According to the material light, transparency, colors, shades ore reflections within distortion are important design elements of the form language of Gabriela Nepo-Stieldorf. It creates a challenging interaction between transparent conceptual formulation and haptic expressive realisation. ( Dr. Walpurga Kössler)

Culture and civilisation means to exercise dealing with the media, with this kind of hulls which interfere inside and outside, between ones selve and the others: the body, the skin, clothes, language. Gabriela Nepo-Stieldorf presents a whole caleidoscope of human earthliness in her works. The plea for body, history, emotions and for here and now of this world can be seen in her opus. They can be read as warnings to stand against suppression of authenticity in the virtual media, to stay alert to the mania of the technical perfection of human being and his duplication in simulacrum. ( Bernhard Braun, assistant professor at the theological university Innsbruck)
