For my midterm project for my Experiments in Installations class, I have been working on crosses wrapped in twine. While wrapping one of the crosses, I decided I wanted to see what it would look like if I crocheted it. I really liked it so I continued playing with various materials. So far I have used some super thick yarn, some frizzy yarn, the twine, and I am currently using some embroidery string. I would like to have a piece large enough to cover a whole wall. I am picturing it in the room on post that my Bible study meets in. I would like to put it up before they enter the room. I would like to document their reactions. I found some really interesting and amazing artists while researching my idea of redefining a space with crochet. I almost feel underwhelmed by my idea after viewing some of these works. I feel that with the time allotted that covering a wall in 'granny squares' is pretty ambitious though. They take time. They take A LOT of time.
My favorite of the artists I researched was Louisa Magrics. She is my spirit animal. I am 100% serious when I say she is AMAZING!!! Her work is insane! If you have ever crocheted then you know how much time, money, and effort goes into creating a crocheted work. I am truly inspired by her! This is a link to one of her videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq5IdCSkDXs
