Knitted fields

Knitting is the arduous and challenging exercise of cultivating a crop, where each stitch is a tiny seed sown with care and intention. It is an act of nurturing, where time, patience, and persistence allow a simple thread to transform into a vibrant, multi-dimensional material. 

Set of samples knitted on a double bed knitting machine. Naturally dyed silk, mohair, linen and cotton.
