Intricately Crocheted Leaves 

“Breathing lV” (2023), magnolia leaf and cotton thread.

Merging organic forms with timeless craft, Susanna Baueremphasizes incredible details in her intimate leaf sculptures. Working with a range of foraged species, from ginkgo to magnolia to oak, the artist  meticulously stitches around the edges or fills in tiny incisions, creating intricate lacework compositions.

“Three ll” (2017), magnolia leaves and cotton thread, 18 x 18 centimeters. 

A new monograph Susanna Bauer: IN LEAF, published by 5 Continents Editions, celebrates her use of natural ephemera to create elegant pieces exploring the relationship between strength and fragility. “Nature becomes a metaphor for humanity: the artfully interwoven threads remind us that we are all part of a vaster network and therefore generators of connections,” Valentina de Pasca writes in an introductory essay.

Bauer created a limited edition that includes a magnolia leaf circle crocheted into the opening page. She is releasing these in batches, which have previously sold quickly, so keep an eye on her website for the next update. You can also preorder a standard copy of IN LEAF on Bookshop.
