Textile Center & Leslie Pontz

Leslie talks about sculptural crochet pieces, the meeting of art and craft and the story of her work.

I really enjoyed watching this. Leslie's work speaks to me very strongly - the contrasts - those weights and shapes and textures expressing different aspects of existence in relationship. I love so much the combination of the translucent delicate crochet and the big metal heaviness, and the combination of the plastic monofilament with the silk! I love these artworks because they express qualities of reality, helping me to be with reality. It felt like an "ahh" moment, or an "aha". Like, "oh, thank goodness this has been put into an artwork, a form". I'm really happy to see this work!

Beautifully balanced. I love the delicate with the strong.......the ironwork with the filigree....absolutely beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.

I do crochet all of the time, and the fact that it can be used in such elaborate and unconventional ways... Mind Blown!🤯
