Zoetrope Bunny Scarf in Melange Gray - 100% Organic Cotton

100% Organic Cotton

8" x 75"

This piece is a wearable animation, an exploration of motion translated through knit. Inspired by the zoetrope, a 19th-century optical device that creates the illusion of movement through a sequence of static images, this scarf transforms an everyday object into something far more fantastical.

Each panel was digitally illustrated, then programmed into a Shima Seiki knitting system with careful attention to gauge and sequencing. The result is a series of frames embedded directly into the fabric, an animation that exists within the knit itself.

When worn, the scarf resembles a continuous film strip. The animation is not immediately visible, revealing itself only when the frames are viewed in motion through documented imagery. It becomes something subtle and personal, almost like a secret shared between the wearer and the garment.

The organic cotton material is light and breathable, perfect for the transition of spring.

This scarf has a mixture of the graphite and charcoal gray yarns, creating a beautiful melange. This was a beautiful happy accident, and is completely original.
