Sommersemester 2013,

AQA

It’s in the water

It’s in the story

It’s where you came from

The sons and daughters

The project AQA is dealing with my personal background in swimming. Whether it was bathing in my parent’s swimming pool, in the ocean on vacations or during practice when I have been member of the local swimming team - swimming took always an important role in my past. AQA tries to work up my experiences during swimming. The knits materialize water in its sensuous appearance: the phenomenon of light refraction; the splash after the racing dive; the feeling of being weightless and free while diving; the different, blurry perspective underwater. One piece illustrates a little anecdote I remember from swimming practice when the swimming hall lines unlocked themselves, getting wavy and causing a chaos instead of order and orientation.

AQA became a quite personal knitting project that functions somehow as a photo album preserving my memories and feelings. Even some knitted fabrics can probably just be read by myself.
