knitted image in five colors, made with a hand-operated knitting machine from the 1980s.
the piece was made for a show with viola friedrich and lucie marsmann in bielefeld within the 30 years artists unlimited celebration and exhibition.
it is a continuous collaboration and more work & shows will follow!
fun fact: in the making of this piece ca. 27300 m of 1-ply-yarn were knitted :)
