Hannah Buechler, an artist, uses loom bands in an unconventional way to create artworks that resemble expressionist paintings. These vibrant pieces are made up of thousands of colorful rubber bands, meticulously arranged to form intricate designs. Buechler's inspiration draws from her passion for textiles and mark-making techniques, as well as her exploration of the connection between natural and synthetic materials.
She starts with a felt template, onto which she weaves the bands onto small tufts of wool roving. This process allows her to shape and manipulate the bands, creating a tactile, flexible artwork that resembles a painting when framed and displayed on a wall.
