Kim Kamens

 

Thread Series

Miles of thread and thousand of nails are the basic elements of Kim Kamens' newest body of work. At a distance, these black and white images appear to be charcoal or pencil drawings, but upon closer inspection, the labor intensive madness of the artist is revealed. Each "drawing" is composed of miles of sewing thread bridging nail heads to create a highly rendered image. She connects these points repeatedly until she achieves the desired tone and form. The thread is one contiuous strand and can be 10-12 miles long in some cases.
