Projects > Hand Knotted #1

The Hand Knotted series combines Persian hand knotted carpet weaving with American rag rug weaving techniques, using the sleeves of worn dress shirts in place of individual threads. This work examines the valuation and material production of labor: of the handmade, the factory produced, and white collar work.
