microscopy

Outdated postcards from various openings and open studios provide a compact canvas for hand knit forms. The postcards were recycled by covering the surface with coats of gesso. The text, however, remains visible in places. This neutral background combined with the organic shapes, brings to mind a microscope slide. Simple eyelets form holes add an intricate variety to the knitting. Silk and cotton threads are allowed to dangle, resembling the flagella of an amoeba.
