Artistic collaboration with architect Juha Kivistö.

Inspired by the play of light through stained glass windows, Knit Divisions is a study of creating spaces with layers of colours and soft structures.

The three elements that combine knitted fabrics and wooden frames, all function as separate spatial dividers, but together they form an artistic installation. The work aims to experiment with and push the knit techniques and structures further. Various concepts including 3-dimensionality, transparency, seamless knitting and structurality are explored. These elements draw a link between knitted fabrics and spatial thinking.

The knits are a collaboration with TextielLab in Tilburg and the wooden frames with Studio Markus Koistinen.

Exhibited at Milan Design Week 2018, Tekstiili18 in Helsinki in May 2018, and at 16th International Triennal of Tapestry in Lodz in 2019-2020.
