Portland, Oregon-based artist Lana Crooks (beforehand) juxtaposes the softness of wool and silk with the strong, unyielding surfaces of bones. She stitches hand-dyed textiles into anatomical sculptures adorned with colourful florals or feathers which might be each elegant and eerie. Typically encased in glass domes, Crooks’s current skeletal works embody a hand wrapped in a free bouquet, an ouroboros entwined with a blossoming vine, and a human ribcage suspended in an ornately carved wood field.
Crooks has just a few items obtainable in her shop, along with Stranger Factory, the place her work shall be included in just a few upcoming group reveals. Discover a bigger archive of her spectral sculptures on her site and Instagram.
