Saskia Folk Five in the Sky

Five in the Sky Mixed Media - 22.3cm H x 29.3cm W Saskia Folk's 'Curiosity' series uses hard cover books as a way to display found objects collected over many years - rocks, shells, wood and metal objects - that come together to tell a story and are presented in a new light to celebrate their colour, texture and beauty. The curation brings about contemplation of each objects' age and history, presenting a new narrative. Local artist Saskia Folk formed these expressions in vastly different landscapes - in both the desert and the sea. With sculptural artworks constructed of found objects from the Australian and Californian deserts, Saskia explores her fascination of colours, textures, dents and fractures found in the material, and the new life it takes on as art. Saskia Folk's 'Curiosity' is a part of our Local Makers Art Series, featuring a catalogue of unseen work by local artists from Byron Bay.
