Hannah Buechler creates abstract artworks using small rubber loom bands intertwined with wool, complemented by felt and framed presentations. Her technique, drawing from Impressionist brushwork, employs delicate movements that generate expansive patterns akin to painting. The works include titles and dimensions such as "Warm Foothills" (2025, 32 x 36 in.), "The Space Between" (2024, 77 x 72.5 x 2 in.), "Frozen Realm" (2025, 74 x 47.85 x 2 in.), "Palisade" (2025, 58.25 x 44.5 x 2 in.), "Don't Push" (2025, 52.5 x 34.5 x 2 in.), "Borderlines" (2024-25, 78 x 73.5 x 2 in.), "Fountains" (2025, 48 x 44.5 x 2 in.), and "Tabby" (2025, 57.25 x 31.5 x 2 in.). Spencer Higgins captured these pieces, highlighting their maximalist style and the dynamic relationship between color and texture. My Modern Met published the images with authorization from PR for Artists.
