I actually think there's a resurgence of the concept of handcrafting at the moment, both in fine art and more generally with the current rise of the DIY culture movement as exemplified in the documentary, Handmade Nation.

In all honesty, a lot of my practice is also dictatated by economics. Because I don't sell, I don't really have the option to employ people to make my art but I don't think I'd be comfortable with the idea even if I could. At heart, I'm a maker and I get unhappy when I'm not making my work. Interesting thoughts, missmilki, thank you. In all honesty, a lot of my practice is also dictatated by economics.

The piece itself is simply beautiful! It reminds me of a spiders web & how it shares a real delicacy with life. I like the idea of strands too, instead of one continuous string.. it seems to suit the motion of time and the way it passes :o) Thankyou for sharing this!

Of course you could employ a team of people to do the knotting for you and have it finished in a month but I really think there's value and meaning in the process of making the art yourself. I probably can't express what I feel about this properly but I'll try! Its like in making it you invest yourself in the piece and give a little of yourself with each knot. Which is especially valuable when your piece is about age & ageing. I've always felt uneasy about art "factories" á la Damien Hirst's method of production. It makes it so much more difficult for me to connect with a piece on a personal & human level. I guess that is more important for your work than for Damiens & its has a huge amount to do with my personal preferences for "personal" art. But I think what I'm trying to say is the process of making art is as important as the concept & sometimes these days people loose sight of that or dismiss it. And I love that you make your own art. The time & effort & intricacies of your work are wonderful. I love that you make your pieces yourself.
