Biography
Old ways and new technologies commingle together; exploring how we connect to reality today. I use embroidery and technology, creating a connection between past and present.
Illuminated totem poles, covered in crochet, knittings and found objects reveal the similarities between the modern, hi-tech materials used (micro-controlled neon lights) and the colloquial, lo-tech crafts used (crochet, knittings and weavings); creating an equilibrium between traditions, technologies and generations.
I am particularly interested in comparing the hyperbolic geometry used intuitively in crochet with the hyperbolic geometry used in programming microcontrollers in order to show the similarities between old traditions and new technologies, while emphasizing the contemporary relevancy of crafts.
