Portland, Oregon-dependent artist Lana Crooks (beforehand) juxtaposes the softness of wool and silk with the good, unyielding surfaces of bones. She stitches hand-dyed textiles into anatomical sculptures adorned with vibrant florals or feathers that are the two elegant and eerie. Frequently encased in glass domes, Crooks’s modern skeletal operates incorporate a hand wrapped in a unfastened bouquet, an ouroboros entwined with a blossoming vine, and a human ribcage suspended in an ornately carved wooden box.

Crooks has a several pieces readily available in her shop, in addition to Stranger Manufacturing unit, where by her do the job will be integrated in a couple upcoming group shows. Explore a larger sized archive of her spectral sculptures on her site and Instagram.
