Knitwear

Knitting while walking, while talking, while reading, while daydreaming, while watching a movie, while watching the landscape pass by in the train’s window. I've been knitting since I was a child: I learned from my mother, who learned from her mother, and so on. I live far from home now, still, my hands continue the well-known choreography: click, clack, click ~ knitting becomes a way to measure time, turn it into shapes. I try to encapsulate these stories into the objects I make: when you purchase an item, you'll receive a little booklet containing the journey from this object from the yarn to your hands.

Collecting, Devising, Making

Coming from a devised theatre background, I work within a certain methodology that might be summed up in the motto, ‘thinking through making’. Making as sympoiesis ( Haraway) “a becoming-with”, “a making together”. I understand my work as an ongoing engagement with the surroundings: always a collaboration, a dialogue between the human and nonhuman habitats of the landscape.

Clothes etc.

My mother, my grandmother, my
great-grandmother, my uncle’s mother, my aunt. I find myself in possession of lots of bags of leftover fabrics, a
strange fortune, so close to my skin. My mom taught me to sew and knit, and the others provided me with the
materials. I’ve been making clothes for myself since I was about 15 years old.

Shop, Shipping, Commissions
