K no W Safe Place to Know Safe Space
I am looking to expand, extend, experiment with and explore the possibilities of
K no W Safe Place, 2023, 60 x 48 x 48″ canvas, netting, hemp/nylon/cotton cord, lace, ribbon, paint, wood
I would like to transform it into the focal point and destination of a total environment: Know Safe Space.
Firstly, by adding a roof, that would be created in the same manner, and materials, as its two sides and one back wall: substrate surface of canvas essentially draped over a black-painted dowel, hung from the ceiling with fishline, and tied to the corners of the back and side walls by its corners.
Not being a trained draftsperson, architectural or otherwise, I am visualizing this by drawing over a photograph of the original piece from different vantage points, views or perspectives.
It is a magical process of making, contemplation, and visualization, and the first concrete step to transforming a dream into reality.
To Be Continued….
EXHIBITIONISTA: “Paper + Fiber” at 1202 Contemporary
1202 Contemporary proudly presents its 4th annual Paper + Fiber show, celebrating two mediums that women artists have traditionally used for centuries, but have always been considered “craft,” or less than fine art. Uplifting and supporting artists who have worked in textile, fiber, and/or paper mediums, this exhibition centers and hones in on the theme of figure.
