Local textile artist Gala Richards makes artful, enigmatic knitwear. Gala’s practice usually sees her creating knits by hand on a domestic flat knitting machine; her work explores tension, manipulation and the body through tactical laddering. Gala’s collaboration with local brand Wixii, the Royal Gala Knit collection, sees her pieces translated to a Shima Seiki knitting machine, made from lightweight seven-gauge cotton yarn. We love the deconstructed yet easy-to-wear quality of these knits; they’re made-to-order, and available from Wixii.
