#32 - Copper Wire Leaf #7 (All Around You, 2024) by Mitsuru Koga
Intricately woven copper wire leaves by Japanese artist, Mitsuru Koga, made from thin wiring found inside electrical cable cord. Koga untangles the wires one by one, then re-twists them into the shape of a leaf he has directly observed in nature. Each leaf is held inside a wooden frame with an acrylic cover, and signed by the artist.
Variation:
Every leaf is one-of-a-kind and hand-done.
History:
Based in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, Mitsuru Koga (b. 1980) has the ability to breathe life into seemingly mundane materials, transforming them into works of art.
