Brittle leaves of Susanna Bauer
“The dead leaves are picked up by the shovel,” wrote Prévert. But instead of burning them, Susanna Bauer transforms them into small artworks. It is with a little thread and a lot of parsimony that the artist assembles and plays with dried plants, transforming them into small delicate geometric objects. A true work of goldsmith.
The philosophy of Susanna Bauer
“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.”
