Hooked Kathryn SchulzWaterloo, ON Size 58" x 15" x 18" Medium Modified PVC “Hooked” is a soft sculpture made from prematurely discarded PVC material. The found substance has been modified to suit the process of crochet, wherein a series of slipknots has been repeated in a spontaneous sequence to generate a novel form. A specifically fabricated metal stand suspends the weight of the sculpture. Hooked Kathryn SchulzWaterloo, ON About the artist About the artist Kathryn SchulzWaterloo, ON “I was born and raised in Waterloo, Ontario. I have recently graduated from the University of Guelph’s Studio Art program with a minor in psychology. Currently I am studying art therapy at a college in Toronto. I spend much of my spare time outdoors, either snowboarding or collecting vegetables, depending on the season. In my sculptural practice I alter found objects in an attempt to expose the latent potential of discarded items. I strive to achieve a modified formal arrangement by using an intuitive response to the physical properties of the substance at hand. I also work on flat surfaces such as paper and walls with cosmetics, drawing materials, and tape.”
