Crocheted Fence, Artist Unknown


I'm not sure who the artist is, but I appreciate the hybrid language of the traditional fence linking with crochet patterning. Only a few different "stitches" are used, but the variation in scale and of elements within each stitch (e.g. length of a certain side of the stitch) creates a beautiful patterning of unique stitch combinations. It is interesting to look at the relationships within the pattern, at the local level of each stitch, up to the level of a sub-pattern, up to the level of the entire pattern.
