MEDIEVAL CLOAK. 1965
120 x 190 cm
wool, power looped over a woven ground, combined with knitting
Collection: Arterior G [[strikethrough]] MB [[/strikethrough]] mbH, Wuppertal, Germany

With an unusual degree of conscious abandon, the artist has created an illusion of age and mystery. The lush palette of mossy greens, relieved by red and violet, further enhances this illusion.
 
Constructed with an electric pistol, the long unruly lo [[strikethrough]] p [[/strikethrough]] ops are, for the most part, uncut. The heavy roving was knitted with oversize needles. The artist says that she was inspired by contemporary coiffeur, so that this piece becomes a social art[[strikethrough]] i [[/strikethrough]] efact  as well as a work of art.
