# Tree-bound Weaving Perspicere's 'Thread Pieces on Chopped Wood' Connects Nature with Art By Jordy E | Published 2012-10-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thread-pieces-on-chopped-wood References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/perspicere-thread-on-chopped-wood) & [perspicere2012.tumblr](http://perspicere2012.tumblr.com/) The artistic hub that is Perspicere has released its 'Thread Pieces on Chopped Wood.' The title is quite literal as [tightly bound strings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral) are hammered into [thick tree slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/age-of-wood), giving way to an elaborate [dream catcher design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highwood-installation). The intricate bits of thread cross over one another indefinitely. A diverse selection of triangles, elongated rectangles and circles are fabricated, each one stretched tightly along the wooden back boards. The layers upon layers of twine are also quite durable. Viewers are pressed to see the brown trunks through the clusters, although the bark that rests along the rounds gives away the arboreal base. Perspicere's description of the pieces is spot on, "...a hybrid composite of abstraction and representationalism, rich in geometric shapes and simulated forms." This angular approach is instantly identifiable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nature-inspired Art:** Using natural elements in creative ways to produce visually appealing art pieces. - **Hybrid Composite Designs:** Creating unique and innovative designs by combining abstract and representational elements. - **Sustainable Crafting:** Producing durable art and craft pieces with little to no harm to the environment and natural resources. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Sculpture:** Introducing creative expressions that incorporate environmental elements. - **Home Decor:** Offering natural and visually appealing design solutions for home spaces. - **Eco-friendly Fashion:** Producing sustainable fashion accessories that use natural materials and craft techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Wooden Identity Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity.md) - [Sprouting Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-chair-on-grass.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Intricately Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs.md) - [Climbing Rope-Crafted Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entwined-objects.md) - [Breathtaking Woven Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-installation.md)
