About the work
In 2014, Keith planted a small crop of flax to make home-spun linen. What came of out this process is a crocheted infrastructure rosary with 13 items representing different life-sustaining processes. This rosary is used to pray for universal access to basic human rights in a way that doesn’t destroy planet Earth and to heal the damage caused by colonial, capitalist infrastructure systems. The 13 basic infrastructure systems are: food, water, healthcare, communication, waste, circulation, energy, materials, shelter, care, production, security, and land.
