The installation “Bathroom” in the Project Room is her second architectural knitting project. It zooms in on details of our daily surroundings; in this case a bathroom. In this small space you can step inside the installation as it were. The space is defined by blueprint-like one-on-one drawings and knitted pieces. The tactility of the knitted pieces is emphasized by the exactness of the architectural drawings. The soft wool and the boldly drawn lines define the space together. Knitting spaces has become a kind of language. It represents a way of observing objects that surround you. It forces you to focus on details. By observing and measuring meticulously, the space is scanned. After this, it is converted to knitting patterns and finally to wool. The slowness and the technical attention needed for the work, is crucial. Observe carefully, up close and with great attention.
