Carol MacDonald invites the viewer to see her works “as prints of and about knitting and as conceptual works about teaching, the art of printing, community.” The catalog is yet another of the many ways that MacDonald shares her artistic process with the larger community. MacDonald says about the work in this book, “I love that this makes the stitch large enough that you actually have to walk past it. It makes me laugh. There’s something sort of joyful about it.”

The catalog features the essay “Carol MacDonald: The Thread and the Fabric” by curator Amy Rahn, who highlights MacDonald’s career and, especially, her artistic investigation of the medium of knitting.

Kasini House published the catalog in conjunction with an exhibition of MacDonald’s prints, “Cast On, Bind Off”, at the Firehouse Gallery, Burlington, Vermont, September 26-November 1, 2008.
