Freeze

CHRISTIANE LÖHR- Born 1965 in Wiesbaden, Germany. Working since 1996.
She is working with stalks of grass, horse hair, seeds, thistle, ivy, tree blossoms. Exudes innocents and vulnerability. Her work reminds me of a dance, like she choreographed the piece instead of sculpting. Delicacy of material reflected in delicacy of composition. How she gets fragile material to maintain elegant shape is not always obvious- element of wonder.
Feels like you must physically hold your breath else the thing will float away. Frames such a short, ephemeral moment of time.
Horse Hair twisted into a mandala.
