Steph Linn – MA/MFA

I am a London based, North American artist that uses sound, installation, and sculpture to explore the history of craft & technology. Through tapestries made of knit and steel I pry open the knitting machine’s relationship to queerness & traditionally feminised labour. My knitting machine is a tool and analogue to trace the development of industrialization and computing, speculating how we can demand useful technologies for a post-capitalist future.
