Entrail Troyen 2014

Salami rind and sausage casings, toilet roll, cocktail sticks, glue

150 x 4 x 4 cm

Through the slow and careful act of French knitting, the form of the tubular tract is articulated, loop by loop, through each stitch. This looping and stitching connecting previous loops/stitches could be like a metaphor for the research process itself: making connections, making form, making sense, meaning and understanding out of the tangled length of thread, which has been joined together from disparate fragments, collected from a variety of sources. Recent addition are the skins from the salamis we had for Charlotte’s birthday picnic.
