Idea No. 180: Community Knitted Canvasses

the idea: ask other people to knit canvasses which I can then paint on

collaborator: Susan Frank

My knitted canvasses, and my visual art in general, have taken a back seat during the first part of this year.  Don’t Make Art, Just Make Something saw to that, rather appropriately now that I think about it.  But at one point I was at the screening of a documentary and I got to talking, as I often do, about my artwork.  At this point, my conversation partner was Susan Frank, a music teacher from Maine who, it turned out, was also a knitter.

She loved the idea of my knitted canvasses and was especially interested when I told her that in my next vision of this project, I find some way to make it communal.  As a first step down that path, I was hoping to have other people knit my canvasses and send them to me.  Only once so far have I painted on something that someone else knitted, when I traded a coffee for a pair of cabled mittens.  But now, with Susan’s help, the next step of this series is truly underway!

Anyone else want to knit me something?
