Crocheted sculptures
Since 1999
How does a surface plane adapt in space? By means of specially developed crochet patterns I let surfaces sprawl and unfold spatially. The rhythmic movement of crocheting grows into three-dimensional structures in wool and steel cable.
Giving shape to the tension-filled and yet highly sensitive steel cable makes me feel like a snake charmer.
Kati Gausmann • 1 3 Period2 • 1999 • Crocheted wool, cotton
From 8 stitches, which I unfold three-dimensionally – i.e. in three directions – in crochet, a spherical structure takes form through permanent doubling of the stitches, growing inwards during the process.
