For most people, clothes represent a way to express themselves to the world. But for artist Helga Stentzel, they are a way to express her thoughts and get creative in an exciting and unusual way.
Stentzel is a London, UK-based artist who creates intriguing visuals with inanimate objects. While she sometimes uses food or household items for this purpose, her preferred choice is clothes.
By arranging pieces like shirts, pants, pajamas, and socks on a clothesline, Stentzel creates all sorts of fun illusions of existing and fantasy animals. The list includes foxes, horses, cows, and even dragons.
According to Stentzel, she aims to help people find “magic” in mundane things with her art.
“My art is about finding magic in the mundane, seeing beauty in imperfections, and connecting to our reality in a new way. I love noticing playful similarities – be it a sweater on a clothing line looking like a horse or a slice of bread resembling a dog’s head,” Stentzel explains in an artist statement shared on her official website.
Stentzel regularly showcases her newest clothesline visuals on Instagram while also offering prints for sale through her website. You can check out more of them by scrolling below.
