Stitched Bodies
Here the importance lies on the contrary between the material aluminium and the croching itself.
What do we normaly connect with the material aluminium?
What effect has the joice of material on the Stiched Bodies?
The material aluminum can be seen as an important, central point of the artwork. The crochet aluminum gives the work a special elasticity, stiffness, and shaping. From the choice of different stiches the objects get their specific structure.
Aluminium-foil is cut into 4 mm strips which are combined together end-to-end with glue. The strips are used to crochet two spheres and a cube. The small shere is inserted into the cube. The cube has the same dimension as the sphere, so the ball exactly fits inside the cube. One side of the cube is not fixed, so that it may open and the ball can be removed. Finally the second shere holds the cube. One portion of the second shere may also be opened. Both sheres are copper colored, while the cube is silver.
