Works by Gabriele Frey

The works have been created according to the principle of "knitting with shortened rows".

The works have been created according to the principle of “knitting with shortened rows”. Fields of red wool were knitted, which are connected here by spacer rows of white wool. I changed the material for some of the squares. Thus, leather straps, paper yarn, fancy yarn, sponge yarn and fringed yarn were knitted.

Knitted from a photo.
The material is thin machine knitting yarn 5 strands.
By mixing and exchanging one yarn at a time, the yarn mottling and shading are created.
The picture was knitted in one piece, nothing was sewn.
It was stretched on a stretcher frame, which was previously covered with stage molton.
