Part One: Cornish Knitting Patterns
Jennifer Nightingale, 2016, 8mins
A series of 16mm landscape animations translating traditional Cornish Guernsey knitting patterns into film. Through a single-frame technique, Nightingale draws a parallel between the structure of a knitted stitch and a film frame, bringing together textile practices, filmmaking and the landscapes from which these patterns originate.
