This knitted canopy hangs just above head height and is suspended by a hook and rope, creating an intimate space that the viewer can step into. It is made of yarns in shades of blue, the color of the ocean right before a storm, and white, the absence of color. This piece reflects a particular form of sadness: a feeling of despair marked by longing for something unattainable. Standing in the canopy, the viewer enters a sacred space where the body is embraced by texture, weight, and scent. It is a space where the viewer may find themselves wanting to stay, as sadness can become a comfortable, familiar state. As the viewer stands inside, the canopy may sway and swirl, creating a disorienting sensation.
