Statement
My work centers around knitting – as a craft, a place of gossip, a form of meditation, a distraction, a mystical act in its circularity and a trickery of the hand. I am interested in manipulating the mythology that surrounds it; the perception of those who knit as being loving and caring, but also somewhat mystical, tribal or spiritual. My work intends to disrupt the act of knitting and reveal the assumptions we make and the archetypes that surround it.
Tangential to my work on the subject of knitting are conceptual and community-based projects that do not involve the physical act of knitting, rather a metaphorical knitting of people and place. The disruption of material that occurs in the larger body of my work is intended to breakdown the conception of the artist. The material I use is always shifting.
