Picket

Picket takes its name from the familiar timber fence element. It is a simple shape associated with boundaries, repetition and the practical business of enclosing a space.

However, bringing two different lengths together takes the idea somewhere unexpected. The reference to fencing starts to recede and the geometry begins to suggest something much softer.
For me, it has the character of an oversized knit. The individual pieces feel almost like enlarged stitches, connecting into something closer to textile than timber.

I like that contradiction. A picket fence separates one space from another, while knitting relies on individual elements joining together. One creates a boundary; the other depends entirely on connection.

Scale also plays a part. Knitted structures usually reveal themselves through small, closely worked loops. Picket takes that familiar language and blows it up, turning something associated with softness into flat porcelain.

The original fence reference never disappears completely, but it is no longer the whole story. Picket sits somewhere between timber and textile, using a familiar shape to suggest something quite different.
