nets

really put off creating works based on nets now..i saw this 'famous' american artist use them in the most ridiculous manner possible (think lights, and glowing)..making me really irritated and confused why you'd do such a thing. i guess i wasnt aware that they could become so 'decorative'. i like ugly. dirty. tangled. ripped. like eva hesses first rope piece she made. that was incredible.

EDIT: Just been digging around the internet and came accross anya gallacio..used macrame in her work, also mentioned eva hesses
