Project Details
An ongoing series of knitted interventions as gifts with individuals (friends, colleagues, strangers) living in different parts of the North American and the United Kingdom. Each individual is asked what they would like Margo to make them including what they want the colour palette to be. Increasingly, as her knowledge of natural dying processes has grown, she has been able to include wool she has dyed herself according to the colour scheme pre-established. Margo’s gifts are acts of collaboration with no monetary exchange involved, questioning notions of commodification, value, the handmade, as well as art and craft designations.
