Free Structure - Structured Freedom / Moss, David., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-56405-9999818
Scope and Contents

This work was inspired by the Tzitzit, the ritual fringe prescribed in the fifteenth chapter of Numbers. David Moss writes that he wanted to capture the meaning and history of the Tzitzit "not only to display [its] symbolic pattern but to actually embody it...The background, garment and knotted parts of the Tzitzit were produced by serigraphy - the traditional silk-screen process used to obtain flat, even, opaque colors. That aprt is a fixed traditional art edition print. But I added by hand the free flowing strings that spout forth from these rigid, fixed knots. Every string in every print is unique, free and unconstrained.Is this a print or an original? Defined or free? Like the Tzizit it is the unification of both." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
