MUSUBI 結び//CONNECTIONS
-Maki Teshima

Musubi will be a large-scale knot installation, consisting of thousands of colorful naturally dyed recycled fabric knots flowing across a vertical surface-the fence along Alameda Ave between Marion Parkway and Lafayette Avenue in Denver, Colorado. The work will flow with wind and passing cars and after creation the community will interact with it visually and will be invited to add knots. Kanou Musubi's literal meaning is "wishing knot". Each participant will put their individual wish into their knot as they tie it in a collective experience. Musubi's figurative meaning is the act of connection. The goal of this project is to create a participatory, collective artwork that expands and evolves over time as more people interact with it and add their knot -wishes.
