Elusive Elevation

Knitting needle 180cm long by 2.5cm wide, sprayed gold with gold attachment
on end, suspended by stretched lengths of black wool in white room.

 2D Hand- knitted face on 4mm needle, missing
cranium,35cm by 25cm,suspended on stretched
black wool.


The large knitting needle hanging is part of an installation involved in  some communicative role with the knitted 2d skull, creating an eerie
sense of claustrophobia.The feeling
of entrapment, loss of control whilst being inside the lines of stretched
black wool suggest a presence of
being caught in a spider's web.
The stark presence of seeing the 2D
face with head missing, gives the
viewer an uneasy atmosphere of
something that is abnormal.
