Vessels of Time

Vessels of Time, 2021
Crocheted handspun calendar yarn
Set of 3 sculptures

Small: 22cmD x 26cmH
Medium: 28cmL x 12cmW x 30cmH
Large: 17cmW x 42cmH

The yarn was spun out of paper from tear-away calendars, a traditional item in Singapore that is coloured in red and green. These passed days were stripped and spun, held together only by twist. This was first used in the project Fort of Leaves in 2019, then repurposed again into these vessels. Unlike my other nylon vessels, these are slowly crumbling away with the passing of time, as natural fibres do.
