The body is a magnificent system and Candace Couse knitted it. Despite being 15 years old, her film “Sick” (2011) is still a must-see, mesmerizing stop-motion short, produced through the National Film Board of Canada’s Hothouse apprenticeship program. It takes you on a journey through pulsating organs and the dark recesses of a fully hand-knitted human body – cozy and visceral in equal measure. Makes me proud to be Canadian … it’s honestly one of the most unique things I’ve ever shared on KnitHacker – can’t believe I missed it the first time around!
