A kinesthetic learner, Channing Hansen took up knitting to keep his restless hands busy and his mental bandwidth optimized. In 2009, a pivotal moment occurred when Hansen's knitting practice and art practice intersected: the artist held up a textile he was working on and saw through its stitches the century-old abacus hanging on his studio wall.
