Knotless Netting

I love when the uniform repetition of diamonds or squares of fishing nets has been torn and darned. The more haphazardly the net is repaired the better, especially if a garish color has been used to sew two nets together.

Blacky Black Blanket

Precision tied black zip-ties on 10’x5′ black fishing net draped over 8′ steam armature….

The blanket is weighty and casts light shadows against the wall.

Part of a new series of works exploring the impact of implicit bias.
