Creative Drought? Look around the house.

Her canvas — is a clothes line. Her materials? Shirts, pants, towels and socks —  and a keen eye for shapes and story. Helga Stentzel’s “Clothes Line Animal Series” cleverly breathes life into everyday objects. With her magical touch — clothespins and cotton weaves — landscapes transform into a whimsical menagerie of animal characters, each with their own personality.

Stentzel is a Siberian-born multidisciplinary artist based in London.  She says her art is about “finding magic in the mundane.” She says she hopes her work will help us connect with our inner child, and “savor the little visual delights.”
