Stratiformis (sculpture)
''Stratiformis'' is a public artwork by Korean-born artist Jin Soo Kim located in Catalano Square, which is south of downtown in the Historic Third Ward of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The large sculpture combines disassembled knitting machines culled from a local apparel manufacturer in a grid of rusted rebar, all hand-wrapped with galvanized and copper wire.〔"Open Art Project Q&A," Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design website. http://www.miad.edu/content/view/470/453/〕 It was installed in 2006.
==Description==
''Stratiformis'' is responding to the local labor history of the Historic Third Ward. Reliable Knitting Works was a knitting company that created wool hats, gloves and hockey stockings. It was the last company to create these goods in the United States. The company and its president, Isabelle Prolacheck, were instrumental in creating the characteristics of The Historic Third Ward, as we know it today. It was once at risk of becoming a red light district. Prolacheck donated old knitting machines for this project.
Hand labor is a key theme in ''Stratiformis''. The salvaged knitting machines bear traces of wear by their operators, and the artist left bits of stray yarn and thread connected to some of the machine parts to evoke a sense of warmth associated with knit goods. The steel is hand-welded to assure longevity. The galvanized and copper wires were hand-wrapped and then hand-filed. A sealant is applied by hand at regular intervals to prevent excessive rust. ''Stratiformis'' is related to Kim's larger body of work, which references memory, cultural identity, and healing.〔"Artist Profile," Madison Museum of Contemporary Art website. http://www.mmoca.org/mmocacollects/artist_page.php?id=16〕
