Installation from the Linen Project Joanna StaniskzkisThe BCCA has a wall hanging installation made by Joanna Staniszkis that is comprised of plastic tubes stuffed with dyed fleece to create a beautiful floral work.
I dreamt of gardens being manipulated using light and tubing. Each plant was placed in a tube and allowed different amounts of light and length. Long stemed plants were allowed to grow very long before being allowed to leaf. Plants were planted in a variety of tube lengths to create a very composed and controlled garden.
Plants that are distorted are rarely very strong but the tubes allowed them strength and served as a support as well as a growing area. Through generations these plants grew until becoming dependent upon control. Without the support they withered and died.
This may be a metaphor for my medically dependent life but I like it and will plant some beans today in tubes to see what will happen.
A few years ago I saw an artist who manipulated potato eyes and created a simple weaving with them. I will try to remember who did that.
