Found Leaves with Delicate Crochet Embellishments by Susanna Bauer
“Everything That Surrounds Us”, all photographs by Art Photographers
In her series of sewn-together and crocheted leaves and twigs, Susanna Bauer (previously) considers the fragility of nature and humans’ inextricable tie to its survival. The Cornwall, England-based artist combines the found elements with fine cotton thread to produce unique objects steeped in the history of craft. Intimate marks add detail to small patches or the complete outline of browned leaves, drawing our attention to the natural growth patterns found in their interiors. A selection of her free-standing and framed sculptures is currently on view with Le Salon Vert at VOLTA Basel in Switzerland through June 15, 2019. You can view more of Bauer’s works formed from leaves, thread, and twigs on her website and Instagram.
