Synthetic cocoons in the landscape








I now begin to make many of these knitted cocoons. Each one is made with much speed; the more I make the easier the process becomes. They have an alien quality and begin to replace previous forms of stones taken from the landscape. The forms have been reversed the knitted monofilament that once encased rocks in previous work have now become a dominant feature. Taken out into the landscape they appear as an alien presence, nestled within the landscape the contrast of the synthetic and natural elements is highlighted by the sunlight.
