New Work/In Progress
Community Crochet Circle, 2009-2010. Members of the Luther College and Decorah, Iowa communities participated in a drop-in crochet circle workshop, adding two new totems and multiple stacking elements to the installation. We sat just outside the gallery where we could invite passers-by to join in. Several participants already knew how to crochet, and they made some unique and challenging forms--such as a gigantic lace doily. It became a part of the central cone stack, but may eventually become the centerpiece of its own totem or other sculpture.
Crocheted elements are laid out in the gallery during the installation process.
