KNITTING NATION PHASE 8: Under Construction was the second commission of Helen Molesworth for ICA Boston for the Barbara Lee Family Foundation Theater that was included in the Dance/Draw Exhibition. This iteration, along with PHASE 7, was supported by The MacColl Johnson Fellowship.

KNITTING NATION PHASE 8: Under Construction was conceived to feel like a netherworld factory charged with whimsical Dr. Seussian and Willy Wonkian elements such as brightly colored yarns, multi-leveled knitting machine stations, and new heights for yardage draping.
