2015 - Stockholm,Sweden - Joanna

Seating on Joanna'scouch, crochet hook in hand, my friend is teaching me the fundamental stitchesof chain, single, and double crochet. It was a modest beginning, but one thatignited a passion within me. What started as a casual hobby soon blossomed intoa profound form of meditation, providing solace and serenity.

2023 - Bayfield,Huron County - Daniela

Last November,enjoying the quiet at Daniela' place in Bayfield, I encountered a simple yetstriking piece of knitted yarn framed on her son's bedroom wall. After monthson leave from work for mental health reasons and after leaving that job, and acareer in marketing I never really wanted, I am questioning so much. It's therethat I had a revelation - I am a crochet artist (this is not just a hobby).

2024 - Toronto - Me

While others maydescribe me as inherently VERY CREATIVE, I always hesitated to label myself assuch, envisioning creativity through the lens of traditional art forms.However, with time and introspection, I came to realize that my artisticexpression is multifaceted, with crochet reigning supreme as my primary medium.I relish in the freedom to infuse my unique flair into each creation, embracingthe spontaneity and innovation that define the pieces I have created and wantto continue create.

As I work through thedetails of my first art project, I feel liberated and scared to embark on thisnew chapter. I am driven by a singular vision: to showcase the beauty andversatility of crochet as a legitimate art form. Each piece is not merely a productof skill and technique but a testament to the boundless creativity and passionthat fuels my art. With every stitch, I aim to blur the boundaries between artand craft, demonstrating that crochet has the power to captivate hearts andminds, one masterpiece at a time.
