the House Signs of Prague

As you drift through Prague creatures look back at you from the walls. Every house has a name. This project was created in memory for the time I lived in the very center of the empty city, in a tiny blue house, At the Blue Grape, at a time when the streets were silent, the shops closed, the toursists gone. And it was just me and the vast flora and fauna of the city: some swiming in the Vltava, some frozen in stone.

knitted during the 2025 Dramaturgy Symposium in Prague, while listening to presentations on teaching  & practicing dramaturgy.

I don’t know where the blue yarn is from because I had since I was a kid, I specifically remember using it to make a glove for my mother for one christmas, when I was around 10 years old.

House at the White Lamb

Úvoz 166/12


for small hands

knitted while reading Field, Fork Fashion by Alice V. Robinson, in Prague, February 2025. 

This glove is from a thin, soft pink yarn I purchased at Budapest, together with a red one, even before coming to Prague. My intital intention was to make a vest, however it has been lying around on my shelf for years, until it finally found its purpose.

The sheep is from a raw undyed (probably handspun) wool that my garndmother bought about 50 years ago in Zenta (then Yugoslavia).
