"The idea of distinct, secure determinations is confounded even more since Trockel's knitted pictures are not actually hand-made but rather designed on a computer and the machine-made. Thus, they are works that evoke the feminine but refute the usual 'female' detachment from 'male' modes of creativity and productivity. By conjoining the spheres of craft, art, and the machine, they in fact sustain reference to seemingly contradictory associations with domestic, cultural, industrial, technological, and commodity orientations. Hence, Trockel articulates both difference and similarity without creating a unity and without erasing disparate characterizations." (Sidra Stich, The Affirmation of Difference in the Art of Rosemarie Trockel, in: Sidra Stich, Rosemarie Trockel, Ausst.Kat. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, u.a., Boston 1991, S.12/13).
