Katy Biele is a Chilean artist who currently resides in Canada. In her works, Biele works in multiple disciplines, including painting and textile art, while using various materials and techniques.
Biele’s main project at the moment is a series of art installations, “Blending Nature.” As part of the project, the artist creates colorful, intricate, and complex textile pieces that are later installed outdoors on trees and trunks.
Biele started with the “Blending Nature” project back in 2019. According to her official website, the main goal of her textile installations is to “draw attention to the importance of nature.” She also adds that all of the pieces are short-lived and do not harm nature. The installations are removed in their entirety, and there are no traces of them on the trees afterward.
You can check out the process of installation in the videos below.
All of the “Blending Nature” installations take place in the forests and on the beach of Vancouver Island, where Biele currently resides. She hopes to expand the project further, however and is looking to showcase her art and spread the message about the importance of nature across Canada in the future.
