I study the mesmerising textures within the natural world and then capture this beauty in my work. My current body of work focuses on objects and textures found in nature, as well as artefacts collected along the shores. I imagine my works as live objects. I document every piece and number them as a scientist would, these works are my sculptural specimens. I fuse leather with other organic materials, hand building forms and patterns that embody nature and our relationship with the natural world. My work focuses on documenting textures from the wild, in the hope the viewer too will appreciate the beauty, and hopefully question what they can do to help preserve it. My work is organic and instinctive; one piece often leads to the next. In the absence of a template, my ideas take shape in the coordinated activities of eyes, ears, hands, and tools. Within the making process, I respond, develop and adapt my techniques depending on the shape or form. Each individual hand sculpted piece has thousands of leather disks meticulously placed to form complex textured patterns. This repetitive process is slow and meditative taking weeks to complete a single piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a21614dbe42d696f8f1bdf8/1614808516934-RQFLUTCCD2NUURA6XFM1/CC+Directory+bach.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a21614dbe42d696f8f1bdf8/1521585502805-5N5OJYTQ5C7CJANCEL4O/image-asset.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a21614dbe42d696f8f1bdf8/1600165265436-185UOL1UC9M9YBVVDSNZ/HFG+StickerBach.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a21614dbe42d696f8f1bdf8/1614808729379-KNR6PV8E06M3CUFXXYL1/LCN_OPEN-CALL-circle_bigger-1-450x450.jpg About https://www.fflurowen.com/featured-press daily 0.75 2021-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a21614dbe42d696f8f1bdf8/1614689450450-68X90OVZ5NKOJ0R01821/image-asset.jpeg Featured / Press -
