Playing with the withered branches of the leaves, she turned the humble garbage into art.

Many artists will be inspired by nature and use unnatural materials to simulate nature. But the artist introduced today, Susanna Bauer, does the opposite. She takes materials from nature and uses unconventional artistic techniques to reshape nature.

Susanna Bauer

Susanna Bauer is a German artist who creates a novel work of art by sewing and mending dead branches and leaves in nature and knitting sweaters for stones.

Leaves, dead branches, residual wood, gravel. These things have a short life and are often ignored by people, but they are often reborn in the hands of artists. (it suddenly occurred to me that some florists I knew would have a warehouse full of treasures picked up everywhere.)

Bauer has been learning to knit since she was a child, so she combines the natural details of knitting and picking up, such as leaves, branches and stones, and carefully weaves needle and thread into mini works of art, which makes people marvel at the combination of nature and ingenious craftsmanship.

Susanna's work conveys a balance between fragility and power. Fallen leaves are trivial and easily broken. Flexible lines travel between dead leaves. It takes very fine craftsmanship to achieve the desired shape.

Susanna Bauer said, "I work to discover the beauty of nature." in the work of "searching for the beauty of nature", fragility and power are well balanced. Indeed, when the soft thread passes through the fragile leaves and thin branches, it also conveys a deeper meaning-ease and tension exist between people, and the short-lived but eternal beauty of nature can be found in the subtle world. fragility and strength can be poured out to nature as a whole or transformed into everyone's story.

After reading her works, I can't help but think of that very "tacky" saying: the world is not lack of beauty, but the lack of eyes to find beauty!
