artist Lauren Wold through
May 14.
Five pieces are on display
in various areas of the
library’s Florence location,
1460 Ninth St.
These large-format abstract
works demonstrate Wold’s
unique approach to using
knitting techniques to create
original fine art.
Wold describes her tech-
nique as reimagining the
expressive possibilities of
knitting to create fiber art.
“Knitting techniques can be
used to produce works of art
“The versatile characteristics
of knitted yarn allows one to
explore color, shape, pattern
and texture in a traditionally
craft-focused medium.
Wold’s mother taught her
basic knitting techniques
when she was 5 years old.
“Knitting has always been
a satisfying activity for
me. Over the years, though,
I felt the need to go beyond
the usual forms associated
with functional knitting,”
said Wold. “I became
intrigued with a wider artistic
expression using the tech-
liberated from its constraints,
allows for wide creative
possibilities of pure artistic
expression.”
Wold’s art will be on dis-
play at the Siuslaw Public
Library through Saturday,
May 14.

tact the library at 541-997-
3132.
Fiber artwork by
Lauren Wold is on
display through May.
