What would a year measured by one knitted stitch for every minute actually look like? My goal was to knit 60 stitches in a row and complete 24 rows a day to represent that day as measured by the minute. I recorded each days knitting progress with a date tag. As the project grew, I dealt with tangled yarn and competing priorities. It was a challenge to find 3 hours each day to complete 24 rows of knitting. It has been an insightful process. I have learned about myself as I came to terms with the evolution of the artwork and the divergence of two types of measurement. I learned about making space physically for the artwork as it grew and about the rigor of a daily commitment of time. I learned about the value of holding the intention of a daily meditative practice.(installation / performance) Sunday May 13 (Mothers Day) 12:00 to 5:00 (ARTIST TALK - 2:00)  DaDe ART & DESIGN LAB in collaboration with the Alberta Craft Council, will showcase unconventional, contemporary works, from 10 contemporary fibre artists from around North America.

Kim's work has always been stronger when the individual pieces can relate to each other. Then when grouped the whole becomes the sum of its parts. Installing the pieces in a group with the negativeSPACE flowing through and around the objects reinforces the individuality of each piece. Rather than framing which would contain the pieces forcing them to be one; with installation and use of negativeSPACE each piece remains as individual while working as a whole.   4Cats Art Show at DaDe ART & DESIGN LAB featuring the art of the 4Cats Inglewood kids!
