XYZ Knitting or
Searching for Mary

is my ongoing artistic project that explores three-dimensional knitting and the development of XYZ Knitting, a method I have created for knitting in three dimensions, where form and structure are built simultaneously and the finished object is self-supporting.

To enable this type of knitting, Mary is being developed, a specially built knitting machine and the first of its kind. The project is process-based and revolves around invention as artistic practice and technical development, with a particular focus on the relationship between human, machine, and material.
