In Hovin – I ask questions how the body can meet the knit in another way. In front of the body. As an object. Non-wearable. Hovin is an abstraction of hands. The reminiscence. Making all the “mistakes”; turning at the wrong time, unintentionally increasing, decreasing… having no control, creating by the hands. In this process, the artist gradually becomes aware of herself as a maker. Being able to sculpture through the knit. Letting the object becoming its own.
Materials Cotton thread, knitted velour, polyester filling
Hovin was shown at KONTEMPOs second group exhibition. The exhibition examines the question IsThisKnit? All works shown challenge the notion of knit by utilizing the inherent properties and qualities of both material and technique.
