Supporter Level Members receive Studded Scarf, a three-color knit scarf designed by Tauba Auerbach. The work zooms in on the stud element drawn from a connected piece from the artist exploring the Sierpinski gasket fractal, translating it here through the pixelated quality inherent to knitting. Rendered with black and white on a neutral ground, the form is repeated in two densely packed rows down the length of the scarf. The work measures 70" x 6” and is made of soft acrylic yarn. This Membership edition is accompanied by a signed tag from the artist.
