French knitting

This wall installation was made for the artist 2003 solo exhibition French Knitting at the Gallery in Stratford-upon-Avon. It was also exhibited in the 2005 Crafts Council touring exhibition Knit 2 Together Concepts in Knitting. Placed in a grid-like pattern and made with a wide range of wool, colours and decorative materials, the installation evokes the simplicity and repetitiveness of the knitting activity. Between painting and sculpture the installation subverts the seriality of minimalism and engages with issues around the nature and context of art production.
