Description
Textile artist Jane Sauer says, “I love the sense of building, knot by knot and row by row. I think of the rows of knots as lines wrapping around a form, giving it movement, weight, and direction. I love making order from the chaos of hundreds of threads and thousands of knots.” On the multiple components to her sculpture, she says, “The empty space between each piece is as important as the positive space. I want the whole to be stronger than each part. I select shapes which express circumstances, tensions, contradictions, and the interplay of relationships in life.”- {{cite web|title=Circular Evidence|url=false|author=Jane Sauer|year=c. 1990|access-date=18 April 2024|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
