synopsis:

Knit-Face is a video which 'toys' with the idea of the portrait in a pluralist society. A variety of hand-crafted and well-loved knitted toys pose for a photographer. These characters are as diverse, imperfect and expressive as their human creators. Knit-Face plays with the idea of 'craft' as a low-tech, inexpensive and accessible form of art, and aims to document the skills and aesthetic qualities displayed in women's knitting work - rare treasures in our consumer age.
