Light Night 2012 & creating 'Existence'

'Existence' will be an installation consisting of 100's of hand knitted monofilament cocoons hung vertically within a space in Leeds Town Hall on the 5th October  This is a real challenge!Realising each cocoon is now taking me around 45 minutes. I am using every spare moment to make them. My very talented mum has offered her help; she now realises this task is not like knitting with wool!!
Counting!

Bags of cocoons!
All this 'making' 'counting' and forming of physical entities brings with it the satisfaction of creativity and the forming of an other worldly, matrix like environment, within the cocoons themselves and also the space in which they will inhabit!

  1. Wow, this sounds amazing! I hope I can get into Leeds for Light Night to have a look - post lots of pictures of the event, please!

    Good luck to you and your Mum on making these cocoons :)
