The process of knitting in public acts as a people magnet, initiating conversations and interactions. As the work develops it becomes a memory catcher, my experiences and thoughts whilst knitting being intrinsically woven into the fabric of the piece. Lou

Constructed using knitting as a transformational and meditative process, my sculptural drawings encapsulate the fragility and tension of balancing multiple selves. The translucence of the materials creates an illusion of mutability, revealing and concealing elements of the textural space. Lou

When thinking about drawn lines we often think of the single, thin linear scrawl. I am playing with the idea of mapping a walk from A to B and measuring the line of that walk by physically recording the movement the act of walking creates. This is done by suspending a drawing implement (pen etc.) in a box and placing paper underneath it. As I move so does the pen, thus creating a ‘map’ of my journey. - [urbanska]

‘Lemonade Photos I’ (2012) 

A series of photographs taken of my home using a pinhole camera made from a lemonade can and two rolls of film. Utilizing the camera’s small body the photos are taken from the nooks and floors of the house and we see the home with a child’s perspective.

Done in September this year this work has informed some of the work I have submitted for ‘Align’ which Previews next Tuesday.
