Work from Craft is Caring
“During my childhood, knot tying was almost an object of folklore. I grew up in an industrious and old-fashioned town of 800. Despite the setting, knot tying as a craft unto itself was already a relic of previous generations. While it was required knowledge for my Grandfather, it now holds the aura of a dead language. This series is a simple but wholehearted attempt at layering a disappearing art with an emerging art, juxtaposing two seemingly disparate but closely related methods of fabrication.” – Nathan Hess
