This sculpture is the culmination of 100 transformations. The same yarn used to crochet the 100 iterations before this sculpture takes on character and age over time, the multiple unravellings resulting in the painted portions of yarn spreading out from the core of the sculpture. The paint ‘marks’ certain stitches, and we see where it has travelled away from the stitches beside it, or reunite with them again in different iterations. This reminds me of chance encounters with seemingly random people in our lives.
