Phase 15: Weaving Walls

at the Museum of Art and Design, NY

KNITTING NATION 15: Weaving Walls is the last of the epic performance series and the conclusion of the Van Lier fellowship: a six-month artist residency at Museum of Art and Design, NY. Knitters turned the museum space into a knitting and weaving factory, while revealing the dynamic and rich relationship between textiles and architecture. The atrium’s open stairwell was transformed into a large tapestry as her factory crew weaves a continuous soft wall that grows in height as the day progresses.
