About a year and a half ago I began experimenting with bringing this idea of knitted memory into the three-dimensional space.  I started knitting large spheres that were then stiffened and placed on top of a light fixture.  These large spheres had smaller spheres attached, creating molecular looking sculptures that, to me, represented the ideas of thought and memory.  Through the success of this project, I then began to create even larger spheres with stitch patterns that represented how a specific day in my life went, also placing these on top of lights.  While I was able to tell my story in these lantern-forms, I knew that there had to be more to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Christmas I received a small box from my brother and his wife: a card game titled \u201cRememory\u201d.  While at first, I thought \u201cgreat another game I have no one to play with\u2026\u201d, on the drive back to Texas I realized I didn\u2019t need anyone but myself to use this game.  Inside this box was a deck of cards, each with prompts, meant to spark memories and discussions. So then, why couldn\u2019t I use it for my own personal reflection? An idea was born on that drive, an idea that has shaped the project you see before you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the course of this year I have sat down every night, picked a card from the box, and written down the first memory that has come to mind.  These memories are then translated into three-dimensional art through the creation of small knitted spheres.  Each sphere has a stitch pattern that represents each memory; some have words, some hearts, some just random holes.  Some are small \u2013 memories with little significance \u2013 while some are large \u2013 memories I hold dear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
