Based in the UK, Susanna Bauer is a German artist who creates intricate sculptures using objects from nature such as leaves, stones and branches. With precise and careful execution, she fuses the elements together with crochet.
Her work inspires a delicate examination of the objects we tend to overlook in our day-to-day. Where the frailty of the dried leaves meets the durability of the woven thread, Bauer explores a broader relationship.
“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,” said Bauer.
Bauer’s mindful presentation displays the beauty in the push and pull between nature and humanity. These overlapping forces complement each other in regenerative ways — the effect of human influence on the earth brings about the response of the natural world: adaptation, as nature fills the spaces around urban development. Bauer’s work shows how each shapes the other to inspire change and growth.
