THE SCORE




THE CONCEPT FOR KNOTS AND UNKNOTS: ONE AND THE MANY

Drawing from the ideas of “ties that bind” and “lifelines,” the Knots and Unknots provides scores for participants of all ages to create group knotted sculptures that can be serially knotted and unknotted into different configurations.

The artist has designed a set of scores to initiate the knotting and unknotting of the group’s collective sculptures. Eventually the group will make their own score for their own final sculpture. At the end the sculpture will be unknotted one last time and each child able to keep their own piece of rope, embedded with the memory of its collective knots.

The logic of the Riso overlay printing is the logic of the knots and unknots in the scores.
