Crochet, cotton, 2017-2018
The wisdom of the slowly crawling snail.
Time does not play a role, the movement of the snail is time itself
And only the silver streak he leaves behind is evidence of the places he has been to and the distances swallowed up.
And so we too, when we crochet a rope in a spiralling way, we slowly advance along a route whose beginning we create and see, but whose end is yet to be known - the way reveals itself to us while creating the rope-path.
When spiralling we repeatedly reach places we have already been to, but each return is a little different because the point of view always shifts, and so gives us a new perspective on the path taken, but also allows us to plan ahead.
Spiral movement like life itself.
