I was contemplating about the space between stitches. My work is usually quite open, and I was interested to try to make more space. It also explores the distance between a crocheted doily and my wire motifs.
I consider my knitted wire structures as stitches in the fabric of emotional and physical relationships. A type of metaphor for how we are linked together with the next person. With each stitch depending on the other for support, collectively the stitches make a strong fabric. The interlinked lace areas and openings reflect the degrees of closeness or distance and the types of relationships we have. It reflects the order of and the inevitability of life
I thought about creation time, while making each lace motif, the time you sit and work while watching telly or while in conversation with someone or just working quietly in your space. This work deliberates on the time we choose to make art and what that means.
