“The whole scene had a sort of accidental beauty about it; the piles of jumpers raised like mountains, the unravelled stuff a swirling sea with currents of the most vibrant colour. And the girl in the midst of all of this? She looked as if she might be the conductor of a symphonic world of which she was the centre, her hand raising repeatedly as it did up above her head, down and up rhythmically teasing out each new strand; beating time to some private inner rhythm.”

Quote from The Centre Out - the artists MFA dissertation.

A performance unravelling large quantities of discarded knitwear. For the opening night the work was a solo performance, over the following two weeks it evolved into a participatory gallery activity involving studio users, casual visitors and invited guests.

Discarded Knitwear, plastic bags, dustmask, scissors, tea and biscuits.
