Avoiding Green

Synopsis

Channeling the medium of knitting through film, 'Avoiding Green' explores this ancient craft as an early form of digital construction. Combining archive footage, interviews and ‘depth camera’ animation it explores the symbolic role that knitting took in the definition of gender stereotypes from the mid 20th Century onward.
