THE RHYTHM ISSUE | Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 39
The Rhythm Issue | Pom Pom Quarterly Winter 2021
Rhythm inspires Pom Pom’s Issue 39 Winter 2021 collection. It’s bursting with knit and crochet pieces inspired by aspects of rhythm we see, such as written musical scores and the visual representation of soundwaves. The result is a voluminous mixtape of patterns that honour echoes, explore semitonal shifts in colour, and shows-off repeating motifs to get you into a stitching groove.
As creative director, artist, maker, and stylist Lydia Morrow brings her jazzy sense of style to the photoshoot. In ‘Rhythms of Handiwork’, Felicity (Felix) Ford explores the communal and historical relationship between craft and rhythm, while Claudia Khan writes touchingly about the delicate melody of parenthood, partnership, and time in her article, ‘A Family Song’.
Rhythm features designs by: Judith Brand, Astrid Colding Sivertsen, Adella Dutra, Ana D, Tetyana Vyazovska, Johanna Kunin, Nidhi Kansal, Keiko Kikuno, Cleo Malone and Valerie Ng.
At whatever tempo you craft, there’s harmony here for you!
We have now sold out of Issue 39.
