PDF (can be printed at any A size up to A1)
Made as part of Feuilleton Edicola Spoleto, ‘I Will Bear Witness, Piggy-backing from the Edicola’ (2 July–31 August 2021), curated by Jo Melvin in Spoleto, with associated ‘echoes’ at MACRO, Rome (6–7 July 2021) and in the Edicola, Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome (7–9 July 2021).
The knot is a 'sheet bend', used to join two ropes of unequal diameters. Sir John Barrow’s motto—‘HOPE ON HOPE EVER’—was embroidered on a sledge flag made by Lady Jane Franklin for Lieutenant Bedford Pim who went in search of Sir John Franklin and his lost 1845 expedition to find the North West Passage. The flag is now housed at the National Maritime Museum in London.
