Each piece consists of two elements: a rock taken from the landscape near her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and knots tied in a particular Japanese style, which nods to her ongoing study of that country’s art-making traditions. This series of work is the product of a recent interest in Japanese styles of folding and dyeing paper, which collided with her long-time habit of returning home from hikes in New Mexico with a souvenir rock. “What I also love about the Japanese aesthetic is the deep, honored connection with nature,” she says. “The wrapped rocks are my way of offering a combination of the art of Japanese knot tying with a slice of nature, to bring simplicity and beauty into a person’s home.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wrapped-rockz","title":"Bamboo Wrapped Rock","description":"\u003cp\u003eSimple, sculptural, and tactile, these Japanese-inspired cane-wrapped rocks are \u003ca title=\"Handmade\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomist.mom\/pages\/term#handmade\"\u003ehandmade\u003c\/a\u003e by artist Betsy Bauer in her Santa Fe, NM studio.
