- About this work
-
Louise Weaver’s works invite us to consider distinctions between the natural and the artificial, the beautiful and the uncanny. During the mid 1990s Weaver became well known for her meticulously crafted sculptures comprising methodically encased objects within hand-crocheted carapaces. Transforming animals, botanical specimens and domestic objects into seductive imaginary forms, these works draw on a vast range of personal, art-historical, scientific, popular and material sources. Collectively they suggest a fantastical world of evolving hybrid forms.
