Moving It is a sculptural object that shows the flexible properties of knitting in relation to a captured, fixed shape. The small undulating and soft curves in the knit that are fixed in position appear differently with the inflow of light and movement of the surroundings. The accumulation of the knit creates layers and negative space, which makes the knit even more perceptible because it has a sculpture feeling. This can give the audience the urge to look around it because there is no identical side and thereby play around with the free knit to see the possibilities that it has. 

The perception of the object changes depending on the audience, situation and surroundings, therefore it can be seen as a constantly moving object and experiment, that can create a narrative about the motion and possibilities of knitting.
