In 2016, I taught myself one new knot each day of the calendar year. I posted a photograph of each knot, along with its name and a description of its original function, to social media. After the work was completed at the end of 2016, Meta Open Arts invited me to join their Artist in Residence program and recreate The Year of Knots (2016). The work is permanently installed on their campus.
