Katie Holten 1975, Dublin. Lives and works in Ardee, Ireland The work is just a collection of wonky crochet doodles. It was made using one crochet stitch (the simple stitch), repeated, in black wool, over and over again. The work is related to Holten’s research into network system, persistent structures, planning regulations, basic aggregation models, selfavoiding walks and other physics stuff with implications for everyday systems. Sometimes leaves come out from stem at 180° apart. But it’s more common for them to come out less than 180° apart and in most plants the angle turns out to be essentially the same, and equal to almost 137.5°. — Katie Holten Selected solo exhibitions: 2003: Butler, Kilkenny, Ireland; W139, Amsterdam; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; 2002: Temple Bar, Dublin; Stadtgalerie, Kiel, Germany; 2001: Context, Derry, Northern Ireland; 2000: Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Cork, Ireland; 1999: The Basement, Dundalk, Ireland; 1998: Quer, Berlin.
