But when I started this over 10 years ago,

ืื‘ืœ ื›ืฉื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืืช ื–ื” ืœืคื ื™ 10 ืฉื ื™ื,
00:29
I didn't have a word for it,

29840
1536
ืœื ื”ื™ืชื” ืœื™ ืžื™ืœื” ืœื–ื”,
00:31
I didn't have any ambitious notions about it,

ืœื ื”ื™ื• ืœื™ ืฉืื™ืคื•ืช ื‘ื ื•ื’ืข ืœื–ื”,
00:33
I had no visions of grandeur.

ืœื ื”ื™ื” ืœื™ ื—ื–ื•ืŸ ืฉืœ ื’ื“ืœื•ืช.
00:35
All I wanted to see was something warm and fuzzy and human-like

ื›ืœ ืžื” ืฉืจืฆื™ืชื™ ื”ื™ื” ืžืฉื”ื• ื—ื ื•ืจืš ื•ืขืฉื•ื™ ืขืœ ื™ื“ื™ ืื“ื

00:43
So I wrapped the door handle.

ืื– ืขื˜ืคืชื™ ืืช ื™ื“ื™ืช ื”ื“ืœืช.
00:45
I call this the Alpha Piece.

ืื ื™ ืงื•ืจืืช ืœื–ื” ืขื‘ื•ื“ืช ืืœืคื.

Little did I know that this tiny piece would change the course of my life.

So clearly the reaction was interesting.

1936
ืื– ื‘ื‘ืจื•ืจ ื”ืชื’ื•ื‘ื” ื”ื™ืชื” ืžืขื ื™ื™ื ืช.
00:54
It intrigued me and I thought, "What else could I do?"
16

2524
ื”ื™ื ืขื ื™ื™ื ื” ืื•ืชื™ ื•ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™, "ืžื” ืขื•ื“ ืื ื™ ืื•ื›ืœ ืœืขืฉื•ืช?"
00:56
Could I do something in the public domain that would get the same reaction?

ื”ืื ืื•ื›ืœ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืžืฉื”ื• ื‘ืื–ื•ืจ ื”ืฆื™ื‘ื•ืจื™ ืฉื™ืงื‘ืœ ืืช ืื•ืชื” ืชื’ื•ื‘ื”?
01:00
So I wrapped the stop sign pole near my house.
18

ืื– ืขื˜ืคืชื™ ืืช ืขืžื•ื“ ืฉืœื˜ ื”ืขืฆื•ืจ ืœื™ื“ ื‘ื™ืชื™.
01:03
The reaction was wild.
19
63880
1416
ื”ืชื’ื•ื‘ื” ื”ื™ืชื” ืคืจื•ืขื”.
01:05
People would park their cars

ืื ืฉื™ื ื”ื™ื• ืžื—ื ื™ื ืืช ื”ืžื›ื•ื ื™ื•ืช ืฉืœื”ื
01:07
and get out of their cars and stare at it,
21
67400
2376
ื•ื™ื•ืฆืื™ื ืžื”ืžื›ื•ื ื™ื•ืช ื›ื“ื™ ืœื”ืกืชื›ืœ ืขืœ ื–ื”,
01:09
and scratch their heads and stare at it,
22
69800
1936
ื•ืœื’ืจื“ ืืช ืจืืฉื™ื”ื ื•ืœื‘ื”ื•ืช ื‘ื–ื”,
01:11
and take pictures of it and take pictures next to it,
23
71760
2496
ื•ืœืฆืœื ืืช ื–ื” ื•ืœื”ืฆื˜ืœื ืœื™ื“ ื–ื”,
01:14
and all of that was really exciting to me
24
74280
1976
ื•ื›ืœ ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ื‘ืืžืช ืžืจื’ืฉ ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœื™
01:16
and I wanted to do every stop sign pole in the neighborhood.
25
76280
3016
ื•ืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœื›ืกื•ืช ื›ืœ ืขืžื•ื“ ืฉืœื˜ ืขืฆื•ืจ ื‘ืฉื›ื•ื ื”.
01:19
And the more that I did, the stronger the reaction.
26
79320
2600
ื•ื›ื›ืœ ืฉืขืฉื™ืชื™ ืืช ื–ื” ื™ื•ืชืจ, ื”ืชื’ื•ื‘ื” ื”ื™ืชื” ื—ื–ืงื” ื™ื•ืชืจ.
01:22
So at this point I'm smitten.
27
82800
1496
ืื– ื‘ื ืงื•ื“ื” ื–ื• ืื ื™ ื‘ื”ืœื.
01:24
I'm hooked.
28
84320
1256
ืื ื™ ืžื›ื•ืจื”.
01:25
This was all seductive.
29
85600
1256
ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžืคืชื”.
01:26
I found my new passion
30
86880
1736
ื’ื™ืœื™ืชื™ ืืช ื”ืชืฉื•ืงื” ื”ื—ื“ืฉื” ืฉืœื™
01:28
and the urban environment was my playground.
31
88640
2120
ื•ื”ืกื‘ื™ื‘ื” ื”ืขื™ืจื•ื ื™ืช ื”ื™ืชื” ืžื’ืจืฉ ื”ืžืฉื—ืงื™ื ืฉืœื™.
01:31
So this is some of my early work.
32
91760
1600
ืื– ืืœื” ื›ืžื” ืžื”ืขื‘ื•ื“ื•ืช ื”ืžื•ืงื“ืžื•ืช ืฉืœื™.
01:35
I was very curious about this idea of enhancing the ordinary,
33
95040
3016
ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืžืื•ื“ ืžืกื•ืงืจื ืช ืžื”ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ืฉืœ ืœืฉืคืจ ืืช ื”ืจื’ื™ืœ,
01:38
the mundane, even the ugly,
34
98080
1736
ื”ื™ื•ื ื™ื•ืžื™, ืืคื™ืœื• ื”ืžื›ื•ืขืจ,
01:39
and not taking away its identity or its functionality
35
99840
3656
ื•ืœื ืœืงื—ืช ืืช ื”ื–ื”ื•ืช ืื• ื”ืคื•ื ืงืฆื™ื•ื ืœื™ื•ืช ืฉืœื•
01:43
but just giving it a well-tailored suit out of knitting.
36
103520

ืืœื ืคืฉื•ื˜ ืœืชืช ืœื• ื—ืœื™ืคื” ืชืคื•ืจื” ื”ื™ื˜ื‘ ืฉืœ ืกืจื™ื’.
01:46
And this was fun for me.
37
106920
1736
ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ื›ื™ืฃ ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœื™.
01:48
It was really fun to take inanimate objects
38
108680
2256
ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžืžืฉ ื›ื™ืฃ ืœืงื—ืช ืขืฆืžื™ื ื“ื•ืžืžื™ื
01:50
and have them come to life.
39
110960
1680
ื•ืœื’ืจื•ื ืœื”ื ืœื‘ื•ื ืœื—ื™ื™ื.
01:53
So ...
40
113440
1416
ืื–...
01:54
I think we all see the humor in this,
41
114880
1856
ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ืฉื›ื•ืœื ื• ืจื•ืื™ื ืืช ื”ื”ื•ืžื•ืจ ื‘ื–ื”,
01:56
but --
42
116760
1216
ืื‘ืœ --
01:58
(Laughter)
43
118000
1096
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
01:59
I was at a point where I wanted to take it seriously.
44
119120
2696
ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื‘ื ืงื•ื“ื” ื‘ื” ืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœืงื—ืช ืืช ื–ื” ื‘ืจืฆื™ื ื•ืช.
02:01
I wanted to analyze it.
45
121840
1256
ืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœื ืชื— ืืช ื–ื”.
02:03
I wanted to know why I was letting this take over my life,
46
123120
2736
ืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœื“ืขืช ืœืžื” ื ืชืชื™ ืœื–ื” ืœื”ืฉืชืœื˜ ืขืœ ื—ื™ื™,
02:05
why I was passionate about it,
47
125880
1456
ืœืžื” ื”ื™ืชื” ืœื™ ืชืฉื•ืงื” ืœื–ื”,
02:07
why were other people reacting so strongly to it.
48
127360
2536
ืœืžื” ืื ืฉื™ื ืื—ืจื™ื ื”ื’ื™ื‘ื• ืœื–ื” ื›ืœ ื›ืš ื—ื–ืง.
02:09
And I realized something.
49
129920
1280
ื•ื”ื‘ื ืชื™ ืžืฉื”ื•.
02:11
We all live in this fast-paced, digital world,
50
131800
2896
ื›ื•ืœื ื• ื—ื™ื™ื ื‘ืขื•ืœื ื“ื™ื’ื™ื˜ืœื™ ืžื”ื™ืจ,
02:14
but we still crave and desire something that's relatable.
51
134720
3560
ืื‘ืœ ืื ื—ื ื• ืขื“ื™ื™ืŸ ืžืฉืชื•ืงืงื™ื ืœืžืฉื”ื• ืฉืืคืฉืจ ืœื”ืชื—ื‘ืจ ืืœื™ื•.
02:18
I think we've all become desensitized
52
138680
2736
ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ืฉื›ื•ืœื ื• ื”ืคื›ื ื• ืœืžื ื•ืชืงื™ื
02:21
by our overdeveloped cities that we live in,
53
141440
2576
ืขืœ ื™ื“ื™ ื”ืขืจื™ื ื”ืžืคื•ืชื—ื•ืช ื™ื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ืŸ ืื ื—ื ื• ื’ืจื™ื,
02:24
and billboards and advertisements,
54
144040
2776
ื•ืœื•ื—ื•ืช ืžื•ื“ืขื•ืช ื•ืคืจืกื•ืžื•ืช,
02:26
and giant parking lots,
55
146840
1616
ื•ืžื’ืจืฉื™ ื—ื ื™ื” ืขืฆื•ืžื™ื,
02:28
and we don't even complain about that stuff anymore.
56
148480
2856
ื•ืื ื—ื ื• ืœื ืžืชืœื•ื ื ื™ื ืืคื™ืœื• ื‘ื ื•ื’ืข ืœื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื”ืืœื” ื™ื•ืชืจ.
02:31
So when you stumble upon
57
151360
1256
ืื– ื›ืฉืืชื ื ืชืงืœื™ื
02:32
a stop sign pole that's wrapped in knitting
58
152640
2336
ื‘ืขืžื•ื“ ืฉืœื˜ ืขืฆื•ืจ ืฉืขื˜ื•ืฃ ื‘ืกืจื™ื’ื”
02:35
and it seems so out of place
59
155000
1696
ื•ื”ื•ื ื ืจืื” ื›ืœ ื›ืš ืœื ื‘ืžืงื•ื
02:36
and then gradually -- weirdly --
60
156720
1856
ื•ืื– ื‘ื”ื“ืจื’ืชื™ื•ืช -- ื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ืžื•ื–ืจ --
02:38
you find a connection to it,
61
158600
1816
ืืชื ืžื’ืœื™ื ื—ื™ื‘ื•ืจ ืืœื™ื•,
02:40
that is the moment.
62
160440
1216
ื–ื” ื”ืจื’ืข.
02:41
That is the moment I love
63
161680
1216
ื–ื” ื”ืจื’ืข ืฉืื ื™ ืื•ื”ื‘ืช
02:42
and that is the moment I love to share with others.
64
162920
2440
ื•ื–ื” ื”ืจื’ืข ืฉืื ื™ ืื•ื”ื‘ืช ืœื—ืœื•ืง ืขื ืื—ืจื™ื.
02:46
So at this point, my curiosity grew.
65
166280
3136
ืื– ื‘ื ืงื•ื“ื” ื–ื• ื”ืกืงืจื ื•ืช ืฉืœื™ ื’ื‘ืจื”.
02:49
It went from the fire hydrants and the stop sign poles
66
169440
2776
ืขื‘ืจืชื™ ืžื‘ืจื–ื™ ื”ื›ื™ื‘ื•ื™ ื•ืขืžื•ื“ื™ ืฉืœื˜ื™ ื”ืขืฆื•ืจ
02:52
to what else can I do with this material.
67
172240
1953
ืœืžื” ืขื•ื“ ืื ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืขื ื”ื—ื•ืžืจ ื”ื–ื”.
02:54
Can I do something big and large-scale and insurmountable?
68
174217
3999
ื”ืื ืื ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืžืฉื”ื• ื’ื“ื•ืœ ื•ื‘ืงื ื” ืžื™ื“ื” ื’ื“ื•ืœ ื•ืฉืœื ื ื™ืชืŸ ืœื”ืชื’ื‘ืจ ืขืœื™ื•?
02:58
So that's when the bus happened.
69
178240
2480
ืื– ืงืจื” ื”ืื•ื˜ื•ื‘ื•ืก.
03:03
This was a real game changer for me.
70

2016
ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžืฉื ื” ืžืฉื—ืง ืืžื™ืชื™ ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœื™.
03:05
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for this one.
71
185280
2816
ืชืžื™ื“ ื”ื™ืชื” ืœื™ ื—ื•ืœืฉื” ื‘ืœื‘ ืœื–ื”.
03:08
At this point, people were recognizing my work
72
188120
2176
ื‘ื ืงื•ื“ื” ื–ื•, ืื ืฉื™ื ื–ื™ื”ื• ืืช ื”ืขื‘ื•ื“ื•ืช ืฉืœื™
03:10
but there wasn't much out there
73
190320
1496
ืื‘ืœ ืœื ื”ื™ื” ื”ืจื‘ื” ืฉื
03:11
that was wrapped in knitting that was large-scale,
74
191840
2376
ืฉื”ื™ื” ืขื˜ื•ืฃ ื‘ืกืจื™ื’ื” ืฉื”ื™ื” ื‘ืงื ื” ืžื™ื“ื” ื’ื“ื•ืœ,
03:14
and this definitely was the first city bus to be wrapped in knitting.
75
194240
3256
ื•ื–ื” ื‘ื”ื—ืœื˜ ื”ื™ื” ื”ืื•ื˜ื•ื‘ื•ืก ื”ืขื™ืจื•ื ื™ ื”ืจืืฉื•ืŸ ืฉื ืขื˜ืฃ ื‘ืกืจื™ื’ื”.
03:17
So at this point, I'm experiencing,
76
197520
1736
ืื– ื‘ื ืงื•ื“ื” ื–ื•, ืื ื™ ื—ื•ื•ื”
03:19
or I'm witnessing something interesting.

199280
2056
ืื• ืฉืื ื™ ืขื“ื” ืœืžืฉื”ื• ืžืขื ื™ื™ืŸ.
03:21
I may have started yarn bombing but I certainly don't own it anymore.

ืื•ืœื™ ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืืช ื”ืคืฆืฆื•ืช ื”ืกืจื™ื’ื” ืื‘ืœ ืื ื™ ื‘ื”ื—ืœื˜ ืœื ืœื‘ื“ ื™ื•ืชืจ.
03:24
It had reached global status.

1536
ื–ื” ื”ื’ื™ืข ืœืกื˜ื˜ื•ืก ื’ืœื•ื‘ืœื™.
03:26
People from all over the world were doing this.

ืื ืฉื™ื ืžื›ืœ ื”ืขื•ืœื ืขืฉื• ืืช ื–ื”.
03:28
And I know this because I would travel to certain parts of the world
