Contemporary artist Rebecca R. Medel began her career in the early 1980s, and she acknowledges the influence on her work of Minimalist artists Agnes Martin and Sol LeWitt. She illustrates the underlying principles of Minimalism, including regular, symmetrical, or gridded arrangements; repetition of modular elements; direct use and presentation of materials; and the absence of ornamentation. However, unlike Minimalist artists who frequently showcased solid structures that eliminated the artist’s hand in favor of industrial processes, Medel uses the time-consuming technique of combining knotted netting with double-ikat dyeing. The result is ethereal, meditative installations that vacillate between form and formlessness. “I work with images that speak of voids,” Medel says, “and the beauty of mathematics through an underlying geometry and use of mathematical principles” (American Craft 2010, 40). Wall of Windows questions the universal truths in mathematics and the representation of solid boundaries. Medel explains, “My work is about the spiritual, about infinity, about other than this physical plane of existence” (Malarcher 1993, 51). jkd
