A co-authored paper, for In The Loop, by Clio Padovani and Dr. Paul Whittaker asks, “What is it to knit?” One way to answer is in this way: according to Padovani and Whittaker (see more info. below), lies in theorist Susan Stewart’s assistance (On Longing book p. 162) and a constructed analysis about the contemporary practice of collecting objects in museums, the identity of the particular collector and the extension of “the body into the environment” and “the environment subsumed into the personal”. The authors’ analysis centres on the photography of Margi Geerlinks and how the knitter-photographer becomes the maker of fantastic tales about the body and the disturbing construction of the (Lacanian) self along with promoting challenging questions mainly about ‘holes’, ‘the unattainable gaze’ and ‘interwoven narratives’ of both maker and viewer of art. They end their essay with an analysis of sculptor Louise Bourgeois’ interior spaces of the Red Room (Parents) and Red Room (Child). The conference proceedings (to which I am contributing) of “In the Loop: public interest in knitting, 2008”, Winchester School of Art, University of South Hampton are to be published by Editor Dr. Jessica Hemmings, Ass/Director Centre for Visual and Cultural Studies, Edinburgh School of Art, Scotland. The journal’s table of contents is divided into several sub-sections: 1) Rethinking Knitting, 2) Narrative Knits 3) Site and Sight: Activist [Craftivist] Knitting and finally, 4) Progress: Looking Back.

In the case of Grace, it seems her presence knitting with the sculpture is the critical element, rather than what she is actually making. Do you agree?
