"Xenia Fink's work has primarily focused on drapery as a subject. As a draftsperson, she is interested in the mutability of the textile form, especially in the way drapery can represent physicality, and how, as material excess, it is repeatedly associated with the decorative and thus with the "feminine." Fink, however, conceives drapery as a fluid and capacious form. In her drawings, the ornamental meets restraint in an equal desire for openness.

Fink not only explores the feminine connotations of draped fabric, but also combines it with the motif of hair. In her drawings, both emerge as kindred arabesques. Against the white background, hatched and entangled lines pulsate, gather, or spin around themselves, only to dissolve on the white of the background. A sensual pleasure of looking is built through an accumulation of lines, only to become two-dimensional again."
