Few months back we'd featured a very interesting project by Merel Karhof, who harnessed wind energy to create beautifully knitted scarves. And today we bring you an equally intriguing project by Norwegian designer, Siren Elise Wilhelmsen, based both in Berlin and in Bergen. She has chosen time as a medium to knit a scarf. This scarf is a symbol of the ongoing process of time and how it is constantly changing.

365 days a year and 24 hours a day, this clock is constantly translating time into a knitted material. By end of one year, it churns out 2 meters long scarf, transforming time into something tangible.



Here's what the artist as to say about her this project:

"The 365 knitting clock was made to measure and register time in a three-dimensional form to visualize the otherwise invisible time factor that connects us all. Instead of showing time in numbers, the tool we normally use to understand and organize time, the knitting clock aims the philosophical point of the ongoing process of time. It is knitting the hours and the days and shows the time as something that is constantly moving, changing, and developing. Ever passing of half hour is marked by the knitting of a mesh, a full day is registered as one round around the clock and a year results in 2-m long scarf. After one year the yarn has to be replaced with a new one and a new year can be knitted. The year that has passed is this year's scarf. And the coming year is the thread still unknitted."
