Abstract art draws me in and gives my emotions and imagination free reign. Sometimes the art piece conveys the artist’s idea without being overly specific which simply gives parameters to my own imaginings.
Sarah Guthrie is an artist who is a friend and fellow Davidson Wildcat. Her work is based in Joy. Per Sarah:
“Joy gives us meaning.
Joy helps us restore.
Joy gives us connection.
Joy grows community.
Joy gives us a life worth living.”
Since I love to knit, and express joy by making and giving an item to someone, I thought it would be an exercise in joy to interpret some of Sarah’s painted abstracts into knitted items.
