Contemporary artist Rebecca R. Medel began her career in the early 1980s, and she acknowledges the influence of Minimalist artists Agnes Martin and Sol Le Witt upon her work. Using the timeconsuming and meditative technique of combining knotted netting with double-ikat dyeing, she creates ethereal installations that vacillate between form and formlessness. “My work is about the spiritual, about infinity, about other than this physical plane of existence,” Medel has said.
