IDKWIGBIWTBT


Today, at the I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING BUT I WANT TO BE THERE symposium, the cowl I designed commissioned for the MOTI (Museum Of The Image) is presented in Paradiso, Amsterdam. 

They wanted a hand knit scarf design that bore the title of the symposium. For a hand knit design I didn't have a lot of time but it was such a fun assignment to be working on. 

I started experimenting with different techniques and finally I decided to try to screen print on the knitted fabric. It works! Such a nice contrast, the black textured wool and the strong lines of the letters and words. 

Here's a look at the finished prototype. 




It will be presented at the bookshop and worn by one of the organizers. Interested buyers can sign in on a list to get one too. After the symposium it will travel to the MOTI museum store in Breda, where you can get a look at it and sing in.

If you don't know where to go today, go to Paradiso, it's such an interesting theme:
