from a to b to fold II

knitting

A flag dancing in the wind, one moment legible, illegible the next. How much of what we know, do we know due to chance? And what remains hidden between the folds of the fabric? This knitted piece belongs to a series of works that investigate the relationship between materiality, chance, and signification. For this series, I developed and explored different textile techniques to manipulate imagery and surfaces, including digital weaving, machine knitting, and hand-weaving combined with printing techniques.

The work was on view at the Gerrit Rietveld Graduation Show 2019 and Textielfestival x Leiden 2021.
