"Slip" Crochet Installation
Imagine crossing Cathedral Square in the depths of winter,
when the urban landscape is at its bleakest. In the midst
of the concrete and skeletal trees, a small sign of life catches
your eye. Just a couple of leaves – a small, innocuous
vine clinging to the hard surface of a lamppost. As part of
the Winter Garden for the 2009 Christchurch Arts Festival, we co-ordinated
a crochet installation in the Square. Over 50 local knitters
and crocheters participated in creating French knitted vines,
which "grew" crocheted flowers for the duration
of the Festival. Attached to the vines with brooch pins, the
flowers could be "picked" and pinned to a coat or
scarf.
