Fallen leaves find a new life in the art ofSusanna Bauer.
The German-born and UK-based artist uses found organic materials as the canvas for romanticcrochet designs.
Her new exhibitionGathering Storiesassembles some of her latest pieces in this ongoing exploration of nature and craft.
The rust-colored brown leaves were cleaned and dried and then carefully perforated with cream cotton thread.
This string extends beyond the contours of the leaf, resembling the intricate patterns often seen in lace doilies.
Just as no two leaves are alike, no two of Bauer’s creations are the same, either.
In this way, she infuses all of her works with a unique character and identity.
