“Stone Knotting II” by Lyudmyla Mysko, 2018, limestone, 170x150x70 cm, Ma’alot-Tarshiha, Israel.

Concept: I show in my sculpture weaving knot. Knot weaving is one of the most ancient crafts of humanity. A knot is an intentional complication in cordage which may be useful or decorative. Practical knots may be classified as hitches, bends, splices, or knots. A hitch fastens a rope to another object; a bend unites two rope ends; a splice is a multi-strand bend or loop. A knot in the strictest sense serves as a stopper or knob at the end of a rope to keep that end from slipping through a grommet or eye. Knots have excited interest since ancient times for their practical uses, as well as their topological intricacy, studied in the area of mathematics known as knot theory. Knots were used by many ancient peoples instead of written signs. I demonstrate the knitting of the knot as a medium of information by means of monumental sculptures
