Norma Minkowitz

                            "Sisters", 2004, wood, fibre, paint, resin and wire

I came across this sculpture in a book in the library and was instantly drawn to it.  As an embroiderer I am fascinated by anything outside my specialism and this knitted sculpture is a perfect example.  'Sisters' gives the illusion of conjoined twins and the perfect form of the knitted structure suspended in space is very exciting.
