She picked up the fallen leaves in autumn but stunned the whole world.

The moment the withered leaves fell to the ground

It's the end.

And a freshman.

Withered leaf art

Walking on the road, a leaf came into view

A leaf floating on a puddle.

She picked up the leaves and took them home.

That's how the leaf opened up a new life.

A row of leaves hung on the clothesline at home

She gently stroked every leaf

Touch their texture.

Listen to their hearts.

And then carefully sew up the creation with needle and thread.

The dry leaves seem to break at the touch

But German artist Susanna Bauer

But use them to weave interesting worlds.

Four naughty dots slipped down from the leaves and ran to one side, and the two leaves next to their heads depended on each other, a boat with a mast, an eagle flying, a leather tambourine, a violin, and a kite.

In the eyes of different people

From a different point of view

They can be different things.

They can be anything.

For Susanna, 48, who started creating leaves about 10 years ago, this special art seems to be tailor-made for her.

The dead leaves beckoned to her, and she listened to the call of duty. "I often feel that these leaves have found me, not that I have found them."

Susanna's mother and grandmother are both knitting enthusiasts.

She has been fond of craftsmanship since she was a child

I also like nature.

Plant radish with your own hands as soon as you have time

Or use matchboxes to make landscapes.

Nevertheless, I heard the call of the dead leaves

It still took years.

At first, she studied landscape design in college.

But after studying for several years, I always feel that something is wrong.

So she dropped out of school and gave up her degree.

He worked as an apprentice in a product model company for three years.

Modeling requires caution and precision.

Susanna's hands are getting more sophisticated.

Create the perfect chocolate for advertising

Make simulated pyramids and warships for movies

Cookies, phone, coffee maker.

.

From product model to special effects model

She feels like she knows everything.

In this world, it seems that it can be realized when you think of it.

It's just a model. It's a model after all.

The uneasiness has hit again over the years.

In the woods, on the beach

A breeze and a grain of sand

The fleeting beauty of nature

Still haunts Susanna.

So she entered the art school again.

Work during the day and have classes at night.

There, she finally found her way.

Use craftsmanship to integrate art and nature.

Susanna remembers clearly

The first dead leaf cube made by myself.

Although it felt a little strange, but that night

She went to sleep happily with a strange surprise.

When I woke up the next day, Little Cube was still on the table.

It doesn't seem to be a dream. She said to it

"you're so funny. Let's try it together."

I've tried it so far.

Move from a big city to the country

Susanna always notices.

Natural details that are ignored by people.

The two leaves are right next to each other

Several leaves tumbled upward in the wind

The scenery changes inadvertently in a moment.

Evoke her association.

Every leaf is like a character.

Every work is like a story.

Meet

What kind of encounter is this?

Love at first sight is hard to part with.

Or are they in love and killing each other, entangled?

Along the way

Who did you meet along the way?

Each has its own highlights.

I also have my reserve.

Connect

Originally on two separate branches

What brings them together?

You look up and I look back and get close to each other.

These dead leaves seem fragile.

But full of power.

They form a wonderful balance with the soft thread.

The tension between each other is tight and tender and fluctuating.

Isn't this the case between people?

Bridge

Up

Many people ask, won't the dead leaves break?

Did you do some extra care?

Although you need to be very careful

But Susanna insists on using native leaves.

She spent a lot of time figuring out the limits of all kinds of dead leaves

Later, every time I get a leaf, I know what to do.

There will be almost no damage.

In the past few years, her withered leaf works

Exhibited in several galleries in Europe and the United States

And participated in the London Art Fair for four consecutive years.

A dance

More and more people collect it.

People keep asking her to order.

She is happy to discuss with others.

Tap the infinite potential of dead leaves.

One, two, and three.

But sometimes Susanna thinks

What am I doing sewing leaves here?

What will be the next work?

When there is no inspiration, when there is no confidence.

She will at least clean up the studio.

Take out the leaves that are treasured in your wallet

Talk to them with your heart. Just keep doing it.

There are always the right ideas to come.

And then turn it into pieces by her exquisite craftsmanship.

It is the work of leaves but not leaves.

Walk through these seemingly low-key works

A lot of people take a quick look, and then

Come back and stand still as if you remember something.

Watch carefully and leave with a smile.

Needle and thread doesn't just wear dead leaves.

Not only nature and art, but also the hearts of the people.
