About So Young Park
This work utilizes a crochet technique in metal craft employing a crochet hook to weave metal wire stitch by stitch gradually shaping the form. It begins with a single crochet loop made from thin metal wire. As more loops interconnect and intertwine they build upon one another layer by layer ultimately forming a solid three-dimensional structure. The message I aim to convey through this work is that while a single cell may seem insignificant on its own when multiplied by the tens of thousands they collectively form skin muscles and bones ultimately giving rise to a magnificent living organism. Each crochet stitch can be likened to a single cell and as the number of stitches increases exponentially the evolving object mirrors the journey from a single cell to the birth of a great life form.
