Compass (print)

The methodology of pocket knitting, which as an artist I have used for the past forty years, enables me to ensnare and arrange my treasures. It acts both as a system of containment as well as a means of extracting new meanings from the process of juxtaposition.

Once upon a time reflecting on this process, I took control of my vast collection of personal memorabilia, some of which was frustratingly too big to contain within a knitted pocket, and corralled them instead within a single large box frame. This layering of the objects created an image like geological stratum prompting me to preserve them as a photographic moment to freeze as a limited edition print.
