THE SPELL (After Bea Camacho): Crochet Art Performance
Just wanted to share this thing I did last year for a class. Enjoy!:
THE SPELL is a crochet performance piece. In February 2021, the artist attempted to crochet a blanket in her bedroom non-stop— allowing for wrist and food breaks, and sleep. During the three day performance, the piece was live-streamed on Twitch.com.
The artist had numerous inspirations for the piece, the largest being the general stress of isolation due to the Coronavirus pandemic. During the pandemic, Black admitted that crocheting had become a coping mechanism— one that soon proved to be detrimental to the artist’s main passion, writing fiction and poetry. Consequently, THE SPELL also incorporates a poem.
Black hoped she would leave the performance with exhaustion— to “get crochet out of her system” by glutting herself on the craft. Much to her disappointment, this was not the case. Black continues to battle with her own passions.
More of her work, crochet and poetry, can be found on her Instagram @jonnyblackwrites.
