Becoming is a sculptural body of work, using knit as a medium expressing a process of consciously entering into grief and loss in an attempt to change its hold and thereby hopefully discovering oneself in a new way. The different sculptural objetcs are expressing the process of becoming an individual with what one was given and not given, including everything that is broken or missing.

The sculptural objects are made of discarded and damaged pieces of knit together with perfectly knitted pieces. They are recreating holes in the knit itself, and as holes of what was not, what never became and never will become.

 And holes to be perceived as potent ”spaces in between” spaces to hide in, to enter into in order to evolve differently –   the process of becoming. 

The exhibition was kindly supported by Beckett -Fonden, Grosserer L.F. Foghts Fond, konsul Georg Jorck og Hustru Emma Jorcks Fond. It was partly made at the Danish Art workshops
