The work of Mister Finch, an artist based in Leeds, Yorkshire, is as beautifully mesmerizing as a grassy field being caressed by a warm breeze or a bird spreading its wings on a hot summer day. Of course, there is a direct connection to these comparisons. Mister Finch is endlessly inspired by nature when it comes to his stunningly textured sculptures.
Working with vintage fabrics, Mister Finch creates everything from embroidered rabbits to stumpy mushrooms and large spiders. Interestingly, his works of art look very realistic and could be passed for taxidermy if it wasn't for some telltale details. Nevertheless Mister Finch writes, "It’s a joy to hunt for things for my work…the lost, found and forgotten all have places in what I make."
