Maybe a REinventing Exhibition

I felt an immediate connection with Loes Veenstra

not because I'm knitting 58yrs worth of Jumpers

it's because I've already sewn 20yrs worth of REinventions

and

like Loes

I've pretty much still got everyone of them

Since 1955, Loes Veenstra has knitted over 550 sweaters and stored them in her home on the 2nd Carnissestraat in Rotterdam. The sweaters have never been worn. Until today.
Loes and the fruit of her decades of knitting were 'discovered' by Museum Rotterdam. The museum has put her sweaters on display as part of the exhibition ´Over leven in Carnisse´ (Life in Carnisse), on show until January 18, 2013 in Gemaal op Zuid (Pretorialaan 141, Rotterdam).

these days I struggle with parting with anything I create

and without seeking professional help I've concluded

that for me it's not about the outcome

it's all about the journey 

[at the moment]

and maybe 

I'll look forward to the day there's

a REinventing exhibition 

in a Musuem

with a flash mob of

past, present & future workshop participants 
wearing their creations & mine

whilst dancing in the streets.....

sitting on a throne kinda appeals too.
