Filling in a White Box
For the month of March, Heidi Nagtegaal continues her series of studies on how to fill a white box. Using textile traditions, knitting, and crocheting, Heidi makes installations and sculptures that mix imagery, absurdity, and tradition. A recent project, Masks for Disappearing, combines fashion and theft, social awkwardness and racial politics by knitting balaclavas in white, tailored to different social uses. In another work, needles are wrapped in rainbow, crotched tubes that cover 3cc syringes, “cozying” a very loaded, dangerous, and pokey object.
Nagtegaal puts into play potential forms and functions of specific materials within colourschool’s space during her research. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to stop by during the course of her research project, which will culminate in… something.
