knot ◮

             

Artist statement:

Primarily I am a knot-artist.

This is to say I share the characteristics of an un-knot as it is defined in topology,

And I am most unwilling to tie the knot within the circles of trivial artists.

As my favorite artist, MK Ciurlionis says, " folk art should be the spring of our particular style" and as such, folk art, is not art when it first springs forth. So, therefore, whether I am an artist is not for me to make/state: I am a maker of knots, for if a knot is defined as a degree of latitude equal to one second of distance across the sea, I may lay claim to many thousands of these.  Inscribed as the wake of my craft, a surfboard or a sailboat, which inscribes a line unseen except when it springs forth; a line indelibly traced.  These too are typological un-knots.

An unknot because my work is not finished.  Sure, traces of my work exist, many are shown here, and with these, I hope to draw you in, to the tangle yet undiscovered.
