Opening of The Knot / solo exhibition / Boundary Space / Chicago / 2021
In this exhibition Opening of the Knot I juxtaposed patterns against large scale prints and drawings, exploring a multitude of ideas related to the word knot, its concept and its various meanings​. In a weaving process, a certain trust is placed in the knot itself - it joins and secures the two threads together, allowing a weaver to continue weaving. With that in mind, I wanted to recognize the knot as the symbol of a new beginning. At the same time, the knot serves as an emotional metaphor, evoking the tension we feel as "a knot in our stomachs." Through this work, I sought to honor the knot as both a functional element in craft and a powerful symbol of human experience.
Definitions of the knot : one or more flexible bodies forming a lump or a knob, the sense of constriction, a bond of union, a cluster of persons or things, an ornamental bow or ribbon, something hard to solve, one nautical mile per hour, a closed curve in a three-dimensional space.
