Tether





up-cycled sweater and yarn, 2022-2024

knit and crocheted tube spanning from Sinéad's apartment to mine.

In 2020 Sinéad moved into my apartment building, two doors down. Many nights were spent on her couch, watching each other’s shows, volleying great jokes, and sharing ourselves. We entered a post-lockdown world having made a really beautiful friendship.

I had been knitting and crocheting what would become this piece in small bits, with no real end goal in mind. When Sinéad told me she was moving in with her boyfriend (hi Will 👋), I knew this piece was for us.

She once told me matter of fact, in response to my awe at all she was doing to better herself, “I want to live a full life.” That stuck with me, and is the spirit of this piece as I continue to explore with it.

Thank you Sinéad. I love you. 💕
