A “Knot – Beyond the Inevitable White Series No. 6” light object, Kwangho Lee *,
Korea, 2009, knitted light grey electric cable, hand-milled vulcanite frame, height 120 cm, width 35 cm, depth 33 cm. (DR) A unique piece. From the Woven Series. With a certificate. “Knot-beyond the inevitable series started because I believe that, like my grandfather and people many years back in history, that tying and making a knot is a human instinct. Humans invented many kinds of knots for activities like fishing, hunting, building houses, transporting things. Like in the past, this instinct still acts within us. It has been passed down from our parents, from our ancestors and because it is inherited, this instinct can rather be a meaning than just a simple action. The ability to change or make things with my hands is the same ability that everyone possesses. I wish that with this ability, people become more active when looking at other people or objects.” (Kwangho Lee)
