Susanna Bauer creates her 3D leaf art using magnolia leaves, platanus leaves, cotton yarn and wood. Her work is currently being shown in a solo exhibition until June 27th at the Lemon Street Gallery in Truro.
There is a fine balance in my 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.
