Episode 62: Finishing things, knitting with knowledge of the past
Shawl, hat, socks…I’ve been finishing old projects, enjoying the Crimson WIPalong, and trying to stay sane whilst I’m in a really intense period trying to finish writing my PhD thesis. I’ve also been watching and reading Anne of Green Gables, an old childhood favourite. Through this, I’ve been thinking about collective approaches to remembering, and the past. What is the best way to preserve culture steeped in values of another age – whilst not being defined by it? Announcement: Listen to The Sounds of Botanical Desires – I feature in this episode of the Technecast podcast about my artist residency
