Mesa Country (A Cubist View) Fiber. Macrame knotted. 32” x 30” x 3” $5,000
This knotted landscape explores the interplay of stark, cubist forms and the undulating movement of the knotted lines that circumscribe and ground those forms. None of my prior pieces have relied as heavily on transitions between a cord’s function as warp or weft, allowing for sharp delineations between colors. The double half-hitch is used exclusively in this work. Over the years, I’ve come to hold great respect for and confidence in the power of the knot. The complexity of this work presented many opportunities to be instructed by the cord.
