when I looked at the sky it was wool
Turns out that knitting is both tedious and meditative in equal measure. It’s so slow. Somehow I thought that each piece would only take an hour, how wrong I was. Whilst knitting I had a copious amount of time to think, repeating the stitch again and again really I was thinking about my life rather than this project.
I’m not a knitter but as I’ve mentioned before, I couldn’t stick with just a plain knit, I wanted more: – I got hooked on new knits. Thank god for YouTube knitting tutorials.
This has been an intuitive project from the start, plain and simple: – I’ve not attempted to contextualise it just yet, but it’s a good feeling to see a project (however small) through to the end.
Recently someone told me that to be considered for an exhibition an artist should have at least eight serious pieces/ projects. So this is my personal goal right now. I’m aiming to build up a strong portfolio of work that I don’t hate that will feature on my own website.
