These Contemporary Weavings are Inspired by the (Super) Natural World

Contemporary weaving by Natalie Novak

Artist Natal­ie Novak, aka Combed Thun­der, cre­ates weav­ings that are influ­enced by tech­niques both ancient and con­tem­po­rary. In her wall hang­ings and framed pieces, she explores “col­or, mythol­o­gy, sym­bol­ism, and the (super) nat­ur­al world.” Styl­ized depic­tions of eyes, snakes, and hands are punc­tu­at­ed with earth tones accent­ed by vibrant hues. In some pieces, the weav­ing dou­bles as an illus­tra­tion as it is a vehi­cle for storytelling.

Natal­ie sells her work through her online shop. Fol­low her on Insta­gram to see what she’s work­ing on next.
