Returning to my original starting point of this Final Major Project,
the fishing nets at Filey, I am now exploring the idea of using monofilament as
a material. I have always found the aesthetic quality of this synthetic
material interesting and see the material as an appropriation of hyper-reality
and the digital world. I see potential
in using this small but effective material as some kind of binder; binding
space and place to create environment.
I begin to knit with the monofilament using needles fashioned
from willow stems. This organic tool made from raw materials is important. It
keeps me connected to the land. The process in itself reflects raw organic matter
against a synthetically made material.
