The Ivy Cocoon by Jaime Filipe, Land Artist

 
   
     
 
 

This cocoon, suspended from a tree in woodlands of Arcozelo, in northern Portugal, was part of Art Nature Fest which was held in March 2013. It is the work of Jaime Filipe, an inspiring land artist who has been creating beautiful natural art in Portugal for some seven years.

The cocoon is the first venture away from working in stone, a material Jaime has a particular affinity for but no less than the beautiful sensitivity he expresses using ivy tendrils.

You can watch a short film of his work with stone arches in the video below and here you can see more pictures of Jaime's land art, including the cocoon.
