Made of mulberry silk yarn hand dyed with foraged hickory nuts and of hand spun wool and alpaca yarn, the work was created on both an Ultimate Sweater Machine (a plastic machine knitter from the 1990's) and a homemade tapestry loom picked up at a thrift store. The material contrast of the smooth high luster silk and the dense rustic matte finish of both wool and alpaca imitate the varying textures of skin. Appearing barely held together, its structure juxtaposes the knitted stockinette stitch which is sleek and has an elegant fluid drape with a plain weave tapestry, which is durable and resists sagging but creases easily. The work is hung by synthetic elastic which will overtime dry out and stretch, intentionally hanging differently each time it is installed, the sagging, stretching and creasing mimicking the natural aging of the body.
