Reinterpreting the historic function of a hitching post as an accentuation of contemporary gathering places.
In the knot world, the term Hitches denotes a family of knots that must be made around an object; if the object around which the Hitch is tied were to be removed, the Hitch collapses and loses its integrity.
This concept inspired the Hitching Post series (2019–present), a group of freestanding and wall-based works that reinterpret the historic function of a hitching post—a communal object designed for temporarily securing horses—as an accentuation of contemporary gathering places. Installed in spaces of camaraderie and community, and often featuring site-specific compositions, these works bring together the social and utility purposes of hitch knots and posts.
