Hi everyone,
I finally got around to finishing up this month's (cough, last month's) art work for 'Repetition'.
I was back in Scotland in July last year and came across a curious little book all about traditional knitting patterns, see here. In the book were some pretty groovy looking guys that were modelling the jumpers. I loved their cool haircuts and the facial hair combos, as well as the beautiful patterns of the jumpers. I took some photos of the book during my visit for use at a later date, and ta-dah, I found a use.
Repetition can describe the repetition of the patterns on the jumpers, or the very repetitive act of lino carving and printing. I hope you like it!
