Artist: Capri Woss
Year: 2026
Media/Materials: Crocheted copper wire
Size: 72 × 36 × 5 inches
As an artist and biologist, my work contends with the human form, and the memories that shape it. I work with themes from my lived experience, generating a visual and literal tapestry of interconnected threads, emulating the intrinsic connectivity of mind and body. I am predominantly a painter, but my sculptural practice consists of crocheted copper wire forms. These forms begin as a set of copper wire squares, that are sewn together, and placed around me, to be squished by my peers. Touch, sensation, memory, and vulnerability are all key themes in my work. I have been looking at the invisible labor that is required to maintain an interpersonal connection, hand-crocheting wired panels, wherever I go, for the ultimate presentation of a body, expressed as a silhouette. To remember someone is a difficult task, and to be remembered is even harder. Despite the work one might put in to maintain a friendship, the other party may only remember vague traces of them, regarding them as a hollow silhouette, rather than as a breathing, loving entity.
