Alice Sophia King - BA (Hons) Product Design and Craft
My work draws inspiration from my hands on experience, using sounds, movements and thoughts across these different processes to create my knitted textile and knitted ceramic objects. Analysing the experiences and outcomes across machine knitting, hand knitting and porcelain knitting, my work aims to show the connections between them. From the similarity in repetitive motions within these processes, to the difference in hand movements and background noise, I use my personal experience to inform my work. Both knitted ceramics and knitted textiles show the intricacies of each knitted stitch, and the materials accentuate the delicate nature of the knitting, while also displaying the construction of each object.
