Just Keep Going_It Is Like Something is a part of Ryoko's ongoing 3D line-drawing installation/performance series, consisting of different-patterned crochet hemp yarn directly applied to original structures in a range of sites across Australia. 

The yarns are re-used, bringing all the experience and memories in the sites where they existed in the past. The performance represents 'something' by the five actions such as; knitting to reinforce, weaving to connect, cutting to destroy, sleeping to recover, and untangling to revise 'something'. 

​

The composition of the woven yarns represents how human lives exist in this world with other organisms, inorganic components and artefacts without structures nor hierarchy. As Ryoko explains "to realise this world building connectedness with constraints." 

Audiences, spatial, material and textural elements, and life that inhabits in sites are conceptualised in a process of constant 'becoming' in which identities are transformed by encounters with others as a part of the monstrous bright accumulation of time in the universe.
