Domestic Flow 9
By Meriel Stern
“The Domestic Flow” is an ongoing, progressive and site specific piece that I have been working for the past ten years. This configuration is the 9th iteration. This work is concerned with the processes of composition, transformation and decomposition of living things.
These forms are created from a single strand, and that one string can become a shape that has many different associations. With crochet, as with many other systems, changes are simply a matter of an increase or decrease in the number of units, in this case loops. There is contraction or expansion, continued mathematically within a certain range. This process connotes and embodies the many repetitive activities that are ubiquitous in the maintenance of our daily lives.
