DescriptionLong sleeved deconstructed pullover sweater made from wool, cotton and nylon socks in shades of green, brown, and black; unfinished, with many pinned and unsewn seams, and missing sections; fitted

The processes of deconstruction and recreation are illustrated by this incomplete sweater—its unusual raw material beginning to form an intricate patchwork—held together primarily by pinned, unsewn seams.
