Playing with knotless netting. Can't say that it is my favorite thing to do, lots of strings that fall back on each other...keeping the tension even has proved challenging. I was kind of forced into knotless netting via an assignment, and that made me not the happiest I have ever been -- which made me start thinking of one's heart being in a noose (a future piece?!)...your "love" is restrained, as I couldn't do what I wanted. That made me think of things that weren't very pleasant, and combining that way of thinking with of what the knotless netting looked like itself, I came up with the concept of "A Web of Lies."
Thought of some lies, typed them up, printed them on cloth, then wove them into the net. Netted it around a piece of plexiglass, mainly because I liked the color, not because I think it is the best for getting the "web" part across. I was going to make the netting itself out of the printed lies, and attach it to various plexi thin rods, so it looked like a "spider web" but that would have required a bit more work than I was game to do on this for now....though I may do it in the future. A companion piece to this will be "A Den of Thieves."
