Those Things That Protrude

It's up! After a year of crocheting, Rie's 2012-13 Rocket Rocket grant proposal titled "Those Things That Protrude" has been installed. The piece is made entirely of hand crocheted nylon parachute cord. The individual pieces range in size from 27" in diameter to 45" diameter. We had quite a battle with mother nature getting this piece installed. Thunderstorms and high winds caused us to have to do some minor repairs and rethink how the pieces were anchored. Despite the rash of bad weather, we did manage to get the piece installed for KC's First Friday festivities. We would like to thank the Andy Warhol Foundation For The Visual Arts and the Charlotte Street Foundation for their support in realizing this project.


 Hey don't take these away, I love grinding and wiggling on these things.

A Thousand Words



A couple of years ago Paramount Pictures purchased a couple of Puzzle Screens from us for a movie titled "A Thousand Words" starring Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy plays a literary agent who stretched the truth on a deal with a spiritual guru and then learns a valuable lesson on the consequences of every word we speak. We finally got around to renting this on DVD and were pleasantly surprised how much screen time our Puzzle Screen received.
