Puckett.
Bug, 2010,
wood, wire, string
"It is important that my work has a physical tactility and at the same time treats the eye to optical texture. The labor intensive, homespun craft technique I engage (weaving, knotting, sewing, cutting, and pasting) are means of formal investigation...
Bug in particular is made from scraps of wood that I found being thrown out in the basement of the building I live in. It was obvious the wooden shape was some sort of decorative home accessory but its function was unknown to me. I added wire then sought thickness, color, and form through wrapping the armature with various with types of string..."
