Work Description:
Artist Statement: The fear of navigating the world begins with advice received as young girls: Never walk alone at night; always inspect the back seat of your vehicle for intruders; carry your keys between your fingers. Over time women accumulate experiences that confirm the validity of that advice, experiences that become a burden felt within the body. Women learn to expect violence, to occupy their body differently, and to navigate space based on that expectation. // These works document an ongoing performance where I use kitchen knives to aimlessly and endlessly knit. The repetition involved in the act of knitting becomes a compulsion and form of muscle memory similar to the engrained compulsory actions undertaken by women to avoid a potential danger.
