Mette Boe is an artist who adds a textile expression to her photographs. She is on a mission to capture the aesthetic authenticity in ordinary objects and structures around us. Mette Boe composes poetry out of simple objects by drawing our attention to their unique details. In that way she creates an unusual atmosphere and highlights that beauty is right in front of us.
Mette Boe creates miniature installations by juxtaposing different objects and putting them in a new and exciting composition. Each artwork is created in various stages and ends up with an unique expression full of texture. A new story is told.
