Nike Savvas

Nike Savvas is an Australian artists whose less known here; she recently opened up a new exhibition in Leeds art gallery called "Liberty And Anarchy".
In this exhibition she uses ribbons and coloured string to create her sculptures that inhabit the room as well as large wooden frames.





The way she uses the string to create geometric inspires me to try something like this, but with a line of crochet to act as string, or even a line of knitting. I think it would have to be on a bigger scale than the sculpture, but the frame would be the main thing to create, maybe this could be done out of knitted wool instead of wood.
