Artist work . . .

Jean Shin,

This artist work does not have the same concept as I do, however the final result does relate to my project.


Though come to think about it she is still showing a way of connecting people through a strand. I like the idea of a web - a web is like a network much like the phones lines in the twentieth century. This could be interpreted in to garments i.e a jumper it could be knitted or crocheted together with a connection line within the jumper.


I would have to look more in to the technology of this . . .

She knitted a room with built in garments from her previous collections. Each wall weighs 506 pounds it is all free standing, with the centre piece being a knitted tree. 

"If I saw the tree as knitted maybe someone else wouldn't"

It took 14 people 2 months to construct this with size 17 needles.

I like that Isabel has used knitting to create a 3D form. Though technically she hasn't used one strand of yarn but theoretically it could be done (if you had a ball of wool big enough).

Maybe instead of making something to fit the body I could make something that the body had to fit in to?
