Jim Drain – Knitted Sculpture
“The heart of his art is knitting. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998, Drain started using a friend’s knitting machine and found the meditative repetition pleasant and the results oddly suited to what he wanted to say: hard messages couched in softness.”
“Drain prefers gaudy materials — silver fringe, strings of red plastic beads that look like drops of blood, a bath towel with an image of a bare-breasted beauty lying on a beach, ‘autographs’ of astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong — in his critiques of America’s macho, consumerist, celebrity-crazed culture.” (Boston Globe)
All this and success too. Drain won Baloise Art Prize at Art Basel, which comes with an award of nearly $20,000. Plus all of his works sold in the first hour of the show. Drain doe not limit his explorations just to fiber and knitting. His past work encompasses collage, painting, drawing, silkscreen, performance art, mail art, book art, sculpture, comics, and video, stretching the confining labels of art or craft.
Of his knitting, Drain says:
“I learned to knit actually I cheat and use a knitting machine which is still manual but not as portable as two needles or two fingers; anyway, that was in 2000 and I am still knitting like there is no tomorrow, I guess. It is a technology I suppose and it has taken me weird places (seeing clothing differently, seeing production and craft and work/time differently). Knitting is like painting, looking at the shelf, you never know how the colors are going to work together- in pattern, in texture, after being washed or fluffed or felted.”
