Lace with Triangle-Shape Drillings

I keep knitting and embroidering like my mother and grandmother, but in a challenging way. Not with a thread and knitting needles but with stone, metal and a drill. My works deal with contradictions. Between the constructive and the decorative. Between naivety and culture. Between masculine and feminine. Knitting is considered feminine handicraft, and here I manufacture it by evidently non-feminine means. I appropriate the material out of its context into a new and opposing context.

In this work, I search for the limits of stone – the edge of the ability to exploit the surface without transgressing the border and bringing about fractures and cracks. I expand the possibility of the drill into triangle-shape drillings.

The lace and the half-crochet piece make a conversation of holes.
