These Contemporary Weavings are Inspired by the (Super) Natural World

Contemporary weaving by Natalie Novak

Artist Natalie Novak, aka Combed Thunder, creates weavings that are influenced by techniques both ancient and contemporary. In her wall hangings and framed pieces, she explores “color, mythology, symbolism, and the (super) natural world.” Stylized depictions of eyes, snakes, and hands are punctuated with earth tones accented by vibrant hues. In some pieces, the weaving doubles as an illustration as it is a vehicle for storytelling.

Natalie sells her work through her online shop. Follow her on Instagram to see what she’s working on next.
