Knit art portrait process. I’m a portrait artist combining knitting and drawing with digital tools.

My work provides an optimistic view of technology’s role in shaping our identity and relationships with each other.

The subjects are strangers to me, just as they are to the viewer of the finished work. Being a visual artist, I use my eyes to learn about the person, and in the process find commonalities between us.

Knitting (a form of binary code) is included because of its continuous flow of fibers that mirrors our interconnectedness as people.

These pieces are created using new and old machines. Incorporating technology in the process reflects my life with metal implants; as I am a balance between organic and inorganic so should my art.

I use procreate and vintage hacked knitting machines. www.dartily.com @dartily @dartily_faith
