Laura Ellen Bacon's latest exhibition, 'Into Being,' at Yorkshire Sculpture Park showcases her intricate sculptures woven from sustainably sourced Somerset willow. These works, emulating natural forms like seed pods and cocoons, encourage interaction as visitors engage with the gentle, flowing embrace of the sculptures. Constructed over eight weeks, the central piece rises six meters and reflects the artist's unique approach to working with natural materials to enhance the exhibition space. The use of local beech branches further connects the art to its environment, embodying themes of nature and rejuvenation.
Bacon's work invites visitors into an organic embrace, mirroring shapes of nature and crafted from renewable materials, emphasizing the connection between art and environment.
Constructed on site at YSP, Bacon spends eight weeks weaving her sculpture, drawing inspiration from its surroundings and integrating natural materials and forms.
