Susanna Bauer
Rising I and II Diptych -Intricate contemporary crochet leaves nature art

2014

About the Item

Bauer works with found natural objects. Leaves, stones, pieces of wood…ephemeral natural things, easily overlooked. And she use crochet; sometimes as embellishment, but mostly in a more unconventional way as a means of sculpture and construction. There is a fine balance in her work between fragility and strength; literally, when it comes to pulling a fine thread through a brittle leaf or thin dry piece of wood, but also in a wider context - the tenderness and tension in human connections, the transient yet enduring beauty of nature that can be found in the smallest detail, vulnerability and resilience that could be transferred to nature as a whole or the stories of individual beings.
