Chains 2015
“Chains”
Performance and Installation piece
Becca Cook
The United States is the world's leader in incarceration with 2.2 million people currently in the nation's prisons or jails -- a 500% increase over the past thirty years.
In crochet there is a basic stitch called the chain stitch. I will create an installation of chain stitched string over a three day period. During these three days I will be confined in the space and working during the day and night. Creating 2.2 million chain stitches.
