canvas

18X24"

Canvas, string, needles

2009

The idea for this sculpture(?) came from me starting my job teaching. I am learning to do so many things at once. This is what learning looks like to me. It is like stitching together pieces of information at a time to your existing memories. I found an old frame at a flea market. The red is actually a piece of paper taped to the wall behind the frame. The canvas was attached very carefully to the frame by a series of little nails. I had to sew the canvas onto the frame and keep it tight as I sewed. I left some needles hanging to symbolize the continuation of the learning process.
