knot

deb and i were again part of a group exhibition for the fringe festival. this is the fifth in a series of exhibitions where tony the organiser comes up with a theme/title and all the artists make work in response to that word. this word also relates to the port, which is where the exhibition is held, at the black diamond gallery. there are more images and info for this show here.

the show is called knot. and for this deb and i came up with a large loose timber knot.

we had some timber veneer lying around in the studio and we were able to fashion the layers into the knot and then stitch them in place.

 

best of all the box used to carry the knot also became the plinth!

here are some other works from the show, but for full details please see the link at the top of this post.

 

this tree has a knot tied in the stem of the tree, it is a great piece

this show has won an award best fringe exhibition last week and is now in the running for overall best fringe exhibition. not bad for a loosely curated and loosely organised group of artists that pull the whole thing together as it happens!
