About the art
Artist statement
In LOST and FOUND My Cross-Stitch Hoops #1, Karmin found some cross-stitch hoops that were the perfect new building blocks for her next sculpture. She always tries to use found objects as much as possible for the bases of her sculptures. Karmin uses dyed wooden reeds which are first straight. ONE BY ONE BY HAND she twists, curls, spirals, turns, and curves each reed that you see within the sculpture. She then puts all these curls, spirals, shapes, and colors together ONE BY ONE BY HAND to develop a sculpture that is bursting with color and movement. In this medium size wall sculpture Karmin attached two different shaped cross-stitch hoops to create one abstract shape. This sculpture is made to hang three different ways on the wall depending on which way appeals to you most. Attention to detail and her knowledge of color is evident in creating this sculpture. She used cool colors to create a soft gentle look, yet added a few iridescent blue vinyl curls to add a pop of excitement. The soft curves of the circle and oval, as well as the gentle blending of the colors makes this 3-D wall sculpture so pleasing to the eye and calming to look at. Make a statement with this one of a kind piece of artwork. This is a new style and medium of art that has never been done before. It is sprayed with a UV protective spray, but not recommended to be hung in direct sunlight. Custom pieces available upon request.
