Coneflower: A Piece Of 3D Sculptural Blue And Brown Leather Wall Art

Coneflower:A piece of 3D sculptural wall art designed and made from two layers of leather, one blue one pink, woven together by Louise Heighes.Measurements are 31 x 49 inches or 79 x 124 cmThis piece of wall art is inspired by the slightly exaggerated, almost cartoon, daisy like appearance of the Coneflower. I instantly fell in love with this flower when I came across it in a friend's garden. These artworks are crafted from two layers of sustainably sourced leather meticulously cut and intricately woven together, creating a rich sculptural surface. When installed the 3D nature of the work creates beautiful shadows that add an extra depth to the work.I have always been inspired by the flow and movement which I see in the natural world. Be it a field of wild flowers or the blossom on a tree, I have always loved the way the shape of a single petal or flower can be repeated over again, creating myriad of ever changing new patterns. The importance of simplicity, craftsmanship and creating something by hand is key to what I do.
