Spīthra

2011

Acrylic yarn, newspaper, plastic wrap

Spīthra was inspired by the idea of nests and eggs; specifically the eggs of spiders. The yarn is used as an allusion to the spider’s webbing, while the partially exposed plastic wrap and newspaper bases give mention to an embryo like substance that could be found inside these eggs. There is also an underlying theme dealing with the housewife and the stereotypical activities she may partake in in her free time.
