This work was also constructed by joining several knitted fragments together. Working from a full-sized drawing, I used stitching to create irregular runkles that resulted in a relief pattern. I used a brush to paint the inside of each hollow with a liquid dye, and fixed it using steam. I sewed all these parts together to make up the final form.

When I make my pieces there are always two qualities that I look for. Firstly, I’m interested in the textures made up by the surface of the knitted fabric. Flat surfaces aren’t my thing, so in my making I like to explore deep relief effects. The second quality that attracts me I would describe as a sort of vagueness, a random blurring of appearances. I achieve this quality through the dyeing process. For example, I intentionally dye unevenly, or allow the dye to over-run.
