Anne Wilson

下の写真に続き、入口のテーブルにあるAnne Wilsonの作品をメモ
レースや糸や針でつくられたオブジェが白いテーブルの上に展開している。
ランドスケープの模型のようにもみえるし、
顕微鏡で覗いた小さな世界のようにもみえる。
公式サイトから製作中の写真などがみられます。
　> Anne Wilson lives and works in Chicago.
　> Traditional textile techniques such as lace making, crochet and knitting
　> are integral to her practice. Using these essentially homely activities,
　> often associated with women, she applies them
　> in unexpected ways to create powerful, complex and delicate forms.
　> For the Topologies installation, Wilson and a team of assistants
　> spent a week pinning into place thousands of tiny parts –
　> webs of black lace, crocheted thread and netting –
　> to form a topography or a large map-like drawing.
　> In a similar play on scale, she uses animated film to bring loose threads
　> and pins to life. Small insignificant things become movie stars.
　> ‘In my art work the concept and content direct the use of material and process.
　> I move from weaving, to sound, to glass,
　> to video and collaborative practices very liberally,
　> rather than being defined by a specific way of making.
　> More constant is my interest in material histories
　> and issues that come out of the everyday as they relate to our human condition.’
