THE DAYS OF MY LIFE

A Stitch per Day Alive

This work is a visualisation of my life: one knitted stitch per day alive.

Each knitted stitch is a day gone by. Each day gone by is another day of my life that is shifted from the time ahead of me to the time behind me. I know what the work made of the time behind me looks like, but I do not know what the final form of the work will be.

The pictures shown here show the status of the work in February 2020.

Work in progress!

(Knitted metallic yarn, 36 x 52 cm, 2020, ongoing)
