Hand knitted

Karina Vodovoz’s works are inspired by the elements to which they refer in their respective colours. They are hand-knitted from mohair and decorated with various relief patterns - a wide variety of braided and ribbed patterns. In these textures, Karina Vodovoz refers to ruins, vegetation, and organic structures that form a story of decay and regrowth. For her, the clothes act as a kind of futuristic archaeological find, a reflection of the future and the past. At the same time, her work also serves as a critique of a society shaped by capitalism and consumption and its value systems and priorities, which allow famine, epidemics, and wars.
