cotton yarn and brass nails $550
“During this time of pandemic, we have all been hearing
a lot about ‘flattening the curve’.
We’ve all been seeing a lot of images of graphs
with various curves in the news. There’s something about
those images which grabbed me. I started researching
how parabolic curves are generated mathematically.
I came across a field of geometry called ‘curve stitching’,
which involves plotting a particular class of equations on a graph.
I am a fiber artist. I create art using raw fibers, yarns, cloth, and dye.
I realized I could use the mathematical principle of curve stitching
to create art pieces using yarn and nails. This piece,
‘Flattening the Curve’, is the first of my new ‘Curve Stitching’ series.”
