This paper examines the processes, materials, and influences of Karina Presttun, an artist who explores building abstract sculptures with twine made from second-hand fabrics. She discusses how her work aims to share emotions and visual experiences that do not translate well into text and how she has been inspired by fiber artists, basket makers, and music. She also reflects on the spiritual importance of craftsmanship, the risk of the academization of art, and using discarded materials to bring attention to the environmental impact of textile production. / <p>4 images removed: </p><p>Image 7.  Patford, Gemma (design), DIY Rope Bowl [vessel made from hand-painted rope], 2013, https://collectivegen.com/2013/07/diy-rope-bowl/, accessed 21 February 2023.</p><p><strong>Direct image link: https://collectivegen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/diy-rope-bowl-a-pair-and-a-spare-201-778x519.jpg</strong></p><p>---</p><p>Image 19.
