Art Analysis
From the artist, Nane Wenhammar
Handmade paper, oat straw 60cm x 100cm 2018
A tactile harvest preserved in handmade fibers
Measuring 60cm by 100cm, this landscape-oriented work utilizes the physical remnants of the field to build its visual language. The artist embeds oat straw directly into the fibers of handmade paper, allowing the organic material to dictate the flow and density of the piece. The result is a study in subtle shifts of beige and cream, where the structural integrity of the straw provides a linear contrast to the soft, pulpy ground of the paper.
The horizontal expanse of the work invites a slow reading of its surface, mimicking the quiet observation of a natural horizon. By stripping away representational imagery, Wenhammar focuses entirely on the inherent qualities of her chosen media. The piece functions as a physical record of ecological materials, preserving the coarse, brittle nature of the grain within a delicate, artisanal framework.
The piece uses non-representational forms to evoke the fluid, irregular silhouettes found in the wild.
The physical construction of the piece relies on the tactile manipulation of handmade paper and agricultural byproducts.
The wide orientation emphasizes a sense of grounded stability and mimics the expansive view of a landscape.
