i have a fleet of jellyfish in my room,
they were made by my friend claire, crocheted out of yarn.
crocheted is a weird word.
i believe that spaces have deep influence on us,
what we surround ourselves with both matters and says something.
i felt drawn to share my room with you this morning,
i've shown you before, but now it has curtains and a few more jellyfish, and some shirts in lovely colors that happened to be sitting on my dresser (which is really a bar hutch).
from Claire: Before making these, I was thinking a lot about our lack of control over life's circumstances. Similarly, jellyfish don't have much control over where they move or what they run into: they just have to go with the tide. With that in mind, I started crocheting with no set pattern: I let the patterns come to me organically and spontaneously, making each one unique.
