Keeping up Appearances
A crocheted cotton yarn sculpture from artist Ashley V. Blalock.
Ashley V. Blalock's Artist Statement:
"If there ever was a word that evoked thoughts of outdated, old, and grandma, that word is doily... The doily forms I use are echoes of a time past; a not too distant past that is, at the same time, accelerating away from collective memory at warp speed. This slow, meditative process is a remedy to world increasingly comprised of virtual connections, quick transitions, planned obsolescence, and instant gratification."
