6.00pm - 7.30pm
In mathematical terms, knitting takes a one dimensional yarn and loops it into fabrics that sit between 2 and 3 dimensions, not necessarily as a fractal object, but via forms such as lace, cables, baubles, layering, pleats - and simultaneously these can be crafted into shapes of complex geometry, from socks to Klein bottles. Indu will touch on some of these possibilities, referencing examples including her own work and reflecting on the more intangible aspects of knitting such as the emotional, personal and cultural.
Indu Choraria studied fashion design in London and San Francisco, and has worked in fashion houses around the world, including Mumbai, Paris and Hong Kong. Indu launched her own luxury fashion label ‘nu’ in February 2010, which was exhibited at Paris Fashion Week.
