Since the winter of 2012, I have crocheted over 500 red pointed hats. Each hat has been produced by hand, and is a meditation on the handmade verses the industrial. No hat is identical but they result from the same process, just as no industrial object is the same exactly. There are variations on color or shape because an exact reproduction is impossible.
The hats are a means of tracing my interactions and my social imprint. The hats are a measurement of time, and place. They can be worked on during movies, plane rides, or coffee shop conversations. The yarn drags on the floor and takes with it some aspect of the environment.
