It’s no secret that wool is a magical fiber. Bright colors cling to it the way fleas cling to pets. Add hot water, a little soap, and it transforms itself from a thin flat fabric to a thick plush felt material that you long to stroke and squeeze. Canadian-Hungarian artist Eszter Burghardt creates these dramatic landscapes by manipulating the versatile fiber. Shooting with a macro lens, the Vancouver based artist captures erupting and smoldering volcanoes, streams of water traversing lush green meadows, ice melting from glaciers.
