I use knitting as my main technique as well as a method of research in my practice. Knitting, so to speak, is a mode of both making and thinking.
A single strand of yarn becomes multiple stitches, making a loop after another. The very architecture of a knitted surface opposes singularity, and opens up potential multiplicity.
For a stitch even to exist, it needs another stitch. A stitch supports and is supported. It affects and is affected. It is a subject and an object at the same time. When a stitch is formed, it negotiates with not just the one made right before, but also with all the other preceding stitches. The surface of knitting is constantly in change and exchange, resisting hierarchies, binaries, and polarities.
