Analog Technicolor
How many colors can you see in this yarn installation?
Artist HOTTEA creates art from yarn that blurs the lines between everyday objects and abstract color. He used almost every hue in his studio to make this color-field installation. It represents the palette designers like him explore when making art. HOTTEA learned to knit from his grandmother Socorro. This piece was inspired by the energy of her spirit and the concepts of modern color theory. Can you see the individual strands of yarn? What shapes and patterns do they make, all together?
