Abstract
This thesis accompanies a tightly focused body of work looking at relationships, opposing systems, and the necessity of integrating seemingly paradoxical aspects into our lives in order to become fully realized human beings. Two disparate elements, disassembled obsolete machines and stiffened hand-knit swatches, are brought together into a single sculpture. The new constructs are not works of order and logic or chaos and impulsiveness; rather they capture the best of both combined into a single new world.
