Specialism: Knitted Textiles


My final collection challenges ideas and stereotypes around the notion of masculinity. Being a man who knits, I feel there is still some unease about males doing activities that are socially attributed to females and vice versa. My work is a visual exploration of a stereotypically male domain, like football, baseball, boxing and other testosterone-charged sports, and a personal comedic and slightly camp reinterpretation of this topic. Lightweight, practical sportswear fabrics become chunky, odd-sized garments in my work with particular attention to decorative elements, stitch structures and textures, while the cold colours of football uniforms are transformed into a warm palette inspired by Pop Art, comics and superheroes costumes.
