Crochet

My crocheted outfits skirt the border of reality as a way of thinking about bodies, bodies that buckle under the strain of difference, and draw their lifeblood from it. Initially very much anchored in the real, the shapes became freer, stranger, and at the same time more concentrated. The quaintness of the medium, its look and sensory qualities, make a direct link to a lived (and imagined) past, as do the colours and tonalities chosen. Along with the scale of each piece, which relates directly to a child's body, the viewer is stirred to recall (if not recoil), reconnect, but also discover.
