“To me, line and space cannot be divided. On the contrary, they depend on each other. Drawing a line on an empty piece of paper feels like cutting space and dividing it into sections. I observe what the line does to the formerly “untouched” space and what their relationship is to each other.” 1

In contrast to the works on paper, Löhr’s exquisitely delicate sculptures offer some caprice. Löhr’s uses found materials which have been collected from the forest floor with the care of a biologist cataloging rare and as yet undiscovered flora. Some sculptures are shaped in domes like shelters or like spiders with long spindly legs contemplating their next move. Some are in meditative ring formations, the leaves holding hands in solidarity. Miniature scenes of lightly chartreuse leaves and sticks whose fates seem to be in the hands of a light gust of wind which would surely demolish these macro landscapes.

The leaves in Löhr’s sculptures have a paper like quality to them and remind us of the miniature leafed figures of artist Sherri Hay. Other pieces are more constrained and captured like artist Ed Zelenak’s “Vessels” where branches are entrapped in bronze vessels, never to be freed from their shimmering tomb. “In my sculptural works, the materials guide my working process and it is the experimentation with the possibilities and limits of the same that will lead me the result. It feels like a collaboration between the organic materials, my efforts and my will.” 2
