Where true zen is found within your tangles

Listen Later

In this instalment of the podcast, Pauline Herbert joins me to talk about serial collaborative creations in the context of Zentagle(R). We talk about her tangles, her understanding of the philosophy of this art form, and her hopes for when she becomes a CZT. We briefly touch on postbox topping, crocheting, and Wantage rocks.

Here is the quote from Lynne McNeill Ceri Houlbrook’s book ‘Unlocking the Love-lock’:

In a similar vein, folklorist Lynne McNeill coined the term ‘serial collaborative creations’. These creations share four features, all of which can be applied to a love-lock assemblage:

  1. People come into contact with objects through geographical movement. Either the objects are passed from person to person (type A) or the people pass by the objects (type B).
  2. People involved contribute to the object, either by adding to its physical form or by continuing its journey through some sort of personal effort.
  3. Multiple people interact with the object, but they do it one at a time or in small, sequential groups.
  4. Those who interact with the object individually (or in small groups) are aware of others’ involvement with the object’s existence, though they may not interact with them directly. This awareness is expected and necessary; the object, by virtue of being a chain object, implies the presence of past and future participants.
