It's sometimes difficult to define abstraction - can written (ok, knitted) phrases be "abstract"?
Lisa Anne Auerbach, Find Your Inner Metal Voice, 2011 (it's described as "Merino wool stitched onto stretched linen") |
Cullen Washington Jr uses the grid as a compostional device, and uses "canvas, paper, tape, found materials" for his constructions -
Ivan Morley uses "a vintage embroidery machine" - this work barely fits between floor and ceiling (and a peek round the back shows a blank canvas instead of lots of loose ends) -
Big seems to be desirable when abstraction is involved. Also big was Xavier Mascaro's work Departures, of which this is the tail end -

I too have struggled with the idea of text art being put in the abstract catagory.....
