Every garment is a text. It carries within itself a layered writing of gestures, bodies, and times.
Knitwear as manual practice is already, in itself, a form of thought. The hands working the thread perform logical operations (sequences, inversions, returns) as in a finite state machine.
This project holds that theory and practice are never in opposition, but fold upon one another: thought informs the gesture, and the gesture unfolds possibilities that thought alone would not have imagined.
To deconstruct and reconstruct, to select and discard, to preserve and transform: these apparently contradictory gestures coexist in the project like two sides of the same thread.
What is produced is never final, always open to the next unravelling, the next beginning.
It is in this incompleteness that the project finds its most honest form.
