 er pieces portray human body parts\, such as hands\, arms\, and faces.\n
 "I learned knitting from my mother when I was a child of 10 or 11\, and 
 [it] was a natural medium for me since it's what I knew\," she said. "My
  work seems to be derived in some respect from words\, odd as that sound
 s. Words were a big part of my career\, and thus I'm realizing that pres
 enting words pictorially is part of what my work does."\nMotley has part
