Fikayo, tethered knot I feel most comforted on long journeys and in places with high ceilings where you can seize just a tiny grasp on infinity, experience the vast expanse of time and space neatly contained within an hour or a room. Tiny as we are in this grand scheme of things, there is so much beauty in the way we are able to entangle ourselves in each other’s lives. To create networks and communities that radiate love and light and warmth as we drift together into the unknown, into future we imagine for ourselves. But what room have I left to secure myself within my own body, mind and being? To hold a thousand tethered knots for others is a beautiful thing, as is the space you leave for your own string figure Freeform knot Colonial knot Back stitch Stem stitch A1 print with gold embroidery detail @barbicancentre, May 2022
