 <p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Artist Statement</strong></p>\n<p>I am a painte
 r by trade and a conceptual artist at heart. In recent years I have been e
 xploring ways to enhance my figurative work via different mediums\, and ad
 ding fiber was the first logical choice. I address ideas of breaking cycle
 s and healing by taking crochet &ndash\; a craft passed down by my grandmo
 ther &ndash\; and redefining its purpose from functional to conceptual. In
  my practice\, I use crochet as a tool to provoke curiosity and encourage 
 reflection of heavy subject matter. As a medium\, crochet requires a patie
 nt hand to create work one stitch at a time\, and cannot be mechanically p
 roduced. Similarly\, change and growth are achieved step by step\, or stit
 ch by stitch. These processes inherently weave together the concepts addre
 ssed in my work\, and I hope to create representation and relatability for
  silenced narratives and inspire people to start their own journey of grow
 th.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>About Annika Wade</strong></p>\n<p>Annika Wad
