The Journey of a Thread

This work is based on the string games we used to play as children. These games have now been superseded by the dominance of computer games. The web weaves almost imperceptibly in the space. I created  this work at a time when the actual time seemed to have stopped (lockdown) by thinking of creative ways to use it, making the game itself speak to the passage of it and its seemingly stasis. I have multiple pairs of these handmade ceramic hands that can weave a web together along with the architecture of the building, bringing to mind webs of communication and solidarity.
