| String Theory is a series of over 25 amulets created from 1950's parquet flooring torn up from my family's New York City apartment after a flood. Using the wood, its tarred backing and reclaimed white yarn, I knot, twist, tie and wrap in metaphor for the interconnectedness of the universe. Current scientific String Theory opens up the possibility of ten dimensions, and creates a link between previously incompatible scientific theories. These pieces were once a floor to be walked upon. Now they are sacred objects, creating a link between the soles of our feet and the soulful longings of our heart. We must worship the ground we walk on - our Mother, the Earth. |
