Pinging Ego

I started hand knitting in 2006 making hats, bags, and scarves.  That same year, i began going to college for music at Webster univeristy.  I got into the conservatory there with my trumpet. but ended up switching my major to sociology. i finished school in 2009, and needed to find work.  In 2010, I began what became a 10-year stint at a local fashion brand. Doing small scale production, making sweaters using domestic knitting machines, learning the elements of design and fabrication.

In the height of the pandemic, I started knitwear underground in my basement. My process is one that explores raw expression and handmade individuality. Many times, a maker has to focus on reproducibility which i wanted to get away from… so…Instead of the object dictating the process, the process dictates the object.  Every piece is one of kind. Every piece is puzzling. Every piece is a part of the whole.
