For centuries men and women in every part of the world have utilized knots and nets for survival and livelihood as well as for ceremony, celebration, and ritual. Objects of ingenuity, beauty, and function have been created in a myriad of knotting and netting techniques, from the simple to the complex. They are objects that illustrate the connecting spirit and intelligence that have enabled peoples of widely separated places and times to devise rational, efficient, and surprisingly similar methods to supply their basic needs. Photographs of such knotted and netted objects from ancient and modern cultures of North America, Hawaii, and Africa set a context in this exhibition for the work of contemporary artists of the United States who have explored the knot and the net as tools for creative expression. These artists, whose masterful control of materials combines with their aesthetic and intuitive sensibilities, create evocative and eloquent works of art. Unexpected in form, scale, and texture, these objects direct the viewers' attention to the expressive possibilities inherent in two simple, basic elements, the knot and the net.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancy Neumann Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48179547046042,"sku":"13149","price":150.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/5704\/1545\/files\/SKM_C55826042112281-2.jpg?v=1780407800","url":"https:\/\/store.a4arts.org\/en-us\/products\/knots-and-nets-spiritual-connections","provider":"A4 Arts Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
