Hi, I'm Jesca. 21. Christ Follower. Textiles Student.
One day this will become the blog it's intended to be; documenting my own Textile Work, but for now I mostly reblog a lot of pictures that I think are beautiful in one way or another.
I'm slowly learning how to live for God. It's the most challenging and yet most exciting thing ever. //

‘knitwork’ …
“Begun in February 1992, Knitwork is a life-long piece made by my unraveling used garments and re-knitting the yarn into a single continuously growing object. As it records the ongoing passage of time and effort, the work becomes a monument to the artifacts that comprise it, to mundane activity, and to everyday labour. As a visual record of the passage of time, the details of the piece incidentally register variations in my process, and through these one can retrace a history of decisions. Although the slow accumulation of layers of obsolete goods might recall geological processes, the limits of the piece are actually human; the work will be finished when I cease (to be). “

I’d love to start something like this; a piece of knitting on which the yarn is not actually important but time and process is. I can imagine the satisfaction of being able to look back on a particular section and be able to say “I knitted that bit when [insert life event here] was happening” or “Look, that’s where I tried out a new stitch for the first time!”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/dd0eccf57a85571d9784411b8f36aaac/tumblr_ml98gt03Ut1rn99yco1_250.jpg)
