Love - Windy 

 

When I set out to make one knot every day in 2016, the goal was to expand my knot repertoire. Most traditional macrame consists of the same two or three knots made over and over in different combinations. I found that boring. It's like guitar: If you only know three chords, you can only play the Ramones. So if you wanna be Neil Young, you've got to learn more chords.

366 knots later (yes, 2016 was a leap year), I've become a bit of a knot engineer. The way knots work - the direction of pull, the tension, their topology and taxonomy - is endlessly fascinating and inspiring. The knots are a history lesson, my entry to the state of flow, my art school, and a new language. 

I'm thrilled to announce the Year Of Knots will have its first public exhibition in August at Themes+Projects gallery at the Minnesota Street Project in San Francisco. I'll remind you when that comes around.

Meanwhile, several publications wrote about the piece as it concluded, including Wired, Martha Stewart, Design Sponge, and more.
