Todd Knopke calls his work flexible sculpture. He creates large, even monumental, fabric works that are sewn from many disparate recycled fabric swatches. He arranges these pieces, much like a collage, into representational images depicting figures and recognizable elements. They maintain, however, an ethereal and dreamlike quality. Recalling historical tapestries, each work represents narratives frequently derived from his past memories.
