SAMEWAVE 7

Yarn, thread, floss, ribbon. The category is called String, which says something about how loosely this medium gets to define itself. Cross stitch, knitting, crochet, and embroidery all live here, held together by the simple fact that the work is made with something long and flexible and pulled through or around itself to make a form. There is a rhythm to this kind of work that makes it easy to carry. Knitting on a train platform, stitching at a craft table, crocheting a vest without a pattern. The pieces move with daily life and accumulate slowly into something wearable or hangable or both.
