Mixed media artist’s book
8″ x 18″x 12″
2010
The sculpture-artist book Knots represents the idea of the force of communicating and of constructing a phrase, literally knitting the thread of the conversation. While the form of a sheet of paper created by the knitting references the page of a bound book, the long, wound form of the hem tape also recalls a scroll. The “page” remains attached to the knitting needles and the ball of yarn, leaving the work as a reference to the process of communication, rather than a finished action.
