Tangled! 30" x 24". Colored yarn on canvas, May 7, 2011: Artwork for OIC x Curious Teepee illustration show.
Inspired by psychedelic 60s fashion and color, Tangled! is an artistic exploration of the use of yarn as a substitute for painting on canvas. The artist, without any formal training in knitting, stitching or sewing, attempts to bridge painting and fashion together, using improvisation, crude knotting skills and tangling techniques. The canvas becomes the body, and the yarn becomes an abstraction of a dress - if you can call it one.
