2017–Present

An ongoing interactive fiber art installation in which participants contribute their own stitches, gradually transforming individual acts of making into a collective, expanding textile network.

Originally commissioned for the World Happiness Summit in 2017, The Interknit has traveled to 13 locations throughout the United States, including the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, Miami Book Fair, Vogue Knitting Live, SuperFine! Art Fairs, Poetry in Pajamas, and Young at Arts, where it engaged children throughout Broward County.

2024

Collaboration with Afrobeta and the Rhythm Foundation at the Miami Beach Bandshell.

Levy worked with the community to create hundreds of white pom-poms that became a large-scale sky installation evoking stars and snow during a free performance. The project was subsequently featured in Google's Super Bowl advertisement promoting 50 nonprofits in 50 states.

2008–2020

An interactive fashion performance and community project creating custom garments on the spot from prefabricated tubular knit fabrics.

The project served more than 1,500 people and animals internationally and was presented at Scope Art Fair and in New York, Miami, Iceland, Costa Rica, and Berlin.
