Delectable | Edward Bing Lee
Cover: Grant Cornett, Untitled © 2010.
The ‘Delectables’ by Edward Bing Lee are amazing!
See this video of Bing and his knotting:
His beautiful work far exceeds the brown-and-orange hang-me-in-a-planter macreme of the ’70s which denigrated the form.
I wonder if he started with a Boy Scouut knot board …
(The stunning last-page might benefit from a small-type reference or two)
“Swimming with Spears.” Life-changingly beautiful stuff.
