In the world of environmentally-themed art, beauty doesn't always come on a canvas. Finding a delicate balance between nature, art and space-making, British artist Laura Ellen Bacon weaves incredible forms -- many of them larger-than-life -- using pliable willow branches. Taking her artistic cue from birds, insects and other creatures, Bacon's woven works add a sense of otherworldliness to existing trees, interior and outdoor spaces.
