knitted object, small photographs, 130×150 cm

purchased in 2024 with support from the Czech Republic Ministry of Culture

In this conceptual work, the artist upcycles both energy and material. Together with her mother, she unraveled hand-knitted tops and sweaters bought in second-hand shops down to individual threads. The material was then transformed into this complex wall object, which carries the collective “bar code” of handmade labor by anonymous women—their love and care. Beneath the individual colored lines are photographs of the original garments.
