The Unraveling by Adrienne Sloan

Massachusetts fiber artist Adrienne Sloane crafted a knit flag that partially obscures a copy of the U.S. Constitution printed on sheer nylon. The artist has begun to unravel the flag, leaving piles of loose yarn on the pedestal underneath, partially revealing the historic document.

“I am committed to continuing to show and unravel this piece according to the timeline of the current administration, stopping either when it ends, by whatever means, or at the end of four years when there will be nothing left of the flag.” – Adrienne Sloane
