We couldn’t get in. We couldn’t get out. knitted by Lacey Jane Roberts…
I’ve always been into taking over spaces and working with architecture. I like making big work out of very small elements, like the knitted stitch. I try to install my work in a variety of contexts—in galleries and on the street. I also think making big work that forces people to move around it or interact with it is really interesting. When I first showed We Couldn’t Get In, We Couldn’t Get Out, people were having conversations through the fence. It was startling and creepy to me, but fascinating. I also have done a lot of guerrilla installations. I think after being quite stagnant while knitting, the physical rush of hurrying to install where I am not allowed to triggers my adrenaline. (via)
