Let's take a walk: October 2012

Part 1: The Knitting

It was a delight to present Let’s Take a Walk…I need you as part of the 8th annual Art in Odd Places festival. My deepest thanks to the performers, the photographers and the passer by I have now the challenging task of selecting and editing photos, videos and wonderful stories.

Here is a little preview of what happened

For 5 days I walked along 14 Street inviting passer by to knit. Walking, knitting exchanging stories, unraveling…

Shlepping & Displaying

The third part of "Let's take a walk...I need you" consisted of the displaying of the unravelled dresses. I walked along 14 street back and forth on the Saturday and the Monday following LTAW#28 & LTAW#29 carrying, dragging and at time hanging the dresses. Here are some images.
