In Situ /July 17, 2022 by CHRISTINA HARKNESS

I wanted to share a quick glimpse of some of our corals in their rightful place near the sea. On National Knit in Public Day, I decided to bring “knts (and crochets) in public by taking a few pictures. I rather liked the results.

As a fiber artist, I find my inspiration at the nexus of science, nature, form and texture. I am fascinated by the mathematics involved in hyperbolic crocheted forms as well as the process of researching plants and animals and imagining ways to create them through weaving, knitting and crochet. My fiber art coral pieces recreate a world that is infinitely complex, interdependent, and under threat by pollutants and climate change. My goal is to fascinate, inspire, and create change.
