New Artists:

Kari Steihaug & Tina JonsbuNeverending Story” at NOoSPHERE, New York

Kari Steihaug, After the Market, 2011. Unraveling wool clothes, knitted image after the painting The Gleaners (1857) by Jean‐François Millet.

  • using already found materials eg unraveling old woolen jumpers, blankets, rugs
  • garments have already been made from loose, chaotic reels of wool and constructed into something ordered, controlled and useful.
  • I want to try putting these materials through that same prcess again..unrareling..then reconstructing an image.
