Nina Braun is immersed in an analogue world, where the obsession with material and devotion to each individual object emerges from her very personal imagery. Her approach to wool and fabric is the base for her objects resulting from an intensive working process.
Considering that we are living in a digital era where economical aspects prevail and thoughts and images can be infinitely reproduced, Nina Braun’s art is quite exceptional. Her playful objects and sculptures are accessible but abstract at the same time: the material and the shapes she uses are familiar to the viewer. Yet, the various characters she creates are constantly subject to a metamorphosis that defies any thoughts of usability and conceptualism at the same time.
Nina Braun, The Darkest Night, wool, fabric, wadding, doll-eyes, paperboard, wood, 160 x 160 x 12 cm, 2008.
