altogether knotty

commissioned by Business & Arts NL 

Two lengths of steel pipe are bent and twisted to create three unique knots. The twirling yellow forms of Altogether Knotty are reflective of the yarn, netting, or ropes that contribute to the livelihood of so many who work off the Quidi Vidi wharf and in the surrounding area. The project celebrates the value and importance of these lines which are transformed into functional tools or rendered into elaborately crafted forms. The work speaks to the rich knowledge of knot making passed on from generation to generation.
