Norma Minkowitz‚Äôs loose crocheting allows light to permeate the object, altering its appearance. She used shellac to stiffen the thread so that the otherwise delicate and flimsy material would hold its form. Minkowitz‚Äôs hollow works express both shelter and confinement. It is possible to peer inside her vessels through the stitching and to think of them as inviting, protective places, but her knitting also evokes the feeling of being caught inside with no way out. ‚ÄúMy sculptures enclose and confine, but they also expose. While the sculpture cannot be entered, the interior is visible through the exterior, which is a meshed cage. The element of light plays an important role in viewing my work. As the light changes, so does the dominance of the outer and inner forms. They exchange places.‚Äù Artist‚Äôs statement, 2002 Subject The topic of the resource Minkowitz, Norma Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Norma Minkowitz, born New York City 1937 References A related resource that is referenced, cited, or otherwise pointed to by the described resource. http://collections.si.edu/search/results.htm?q=record_ID=saam_1998.122.16&amp;repo=DPLA Relation A related resource thumb:001:https://ids.si.edu/ids/deliveryService?id=SAAM-1998.122.16_3 full:001:https://ids.si.edu/ids/deliveryService?id=SAAM-1998.122.16_3 linkto:001:http://collections.si.edu/search/results.htm?q=record_ID=saam_1998.122.16&amp;repo=DPLA Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Smithsonian Institution VRA Core VRA Core standard for artistic pieces and cultural heritage artifacts.
