This work by Sophia Horton uses knitting to question boundaries, expectations, and site and area.  I liked the use of the fibres and lurid colouring which contrasted vividly with the dull mundane nature of the natural surroundings. I particularly liked the two trees wrapped in red and black knitting. The colours together are very striking as they stand adjacent. I would like to incorporate highlights of red and black within my design pieces and use areas of knitting or twisted fabrics.
