Indigo Sea - Marianne Hansen
I have always lived in places of raw beauty that deeply inspire me. In my studio, surrounded by natural objects, vibrant colours and textures, the art reveals itself.
My Scandinavian heritage of refined hand skills passed down through generations has culminated in an expression of fibre sculpting and mixed media.
The sculptural pieces utilize needle felting techniques on handcrafted wire armatures, blending wool, silk, and natural fibres to achieve fine details with natural colouring. For mixed media works, I combine skills such as spinning, weaving, and embroidery, incorporating natural objects to enrich each piece.
The act of creating is a meditative experience. It brings me joy to express my profound connection with nature through my work.
Embark on a captivating journey into the world of stunning, realistic wildlife and dreamscapes crafted from natural fibres. This year’s striking collection features fibre sculpting, fibre arts, and collage.
Each piece is carefully crafted to be not only visually striking but also to showcase incredible technical skill. These works capture the textures, shapes and colors of nature reflecting the essence of the wild coast and the importance of environmental stewardship.
Witness live demonstrations where the intricacies of working with fibre are brought to life.
