The Knits, a short art film that follows the arduous task of knitting a sweater, while at the same time watching this same sweater unravel as it makes its way across Canada. Along the way, the film tugs at the crossed threads of familial ties, art versus craft, gendered materiality, and the relationship we have with mother nature and her great divide.
The Knits is a loving yet humorous homage to the artist’s mother and her chronic affliction of “the Knits”.
