Anyone for crochet?
- 29 January 2012 16:21150148This morning I've been to Tont's Gallery in London to see "I do not expect to be a mother but I do expect to die alone". It is the first UK solo exhibition by polish-born, New York-based artist Olek. Renowned for her use of crochet yarn as a medium both indoors and on the street, the artist has created a major installation and sculptural environment; distinctive Olek-esque living quarters filled with domestic objects of all kinds. These, along with the gallery walls and floor have been entirely covered in crochet.
I've never seen so much crochet!

Howard, I thought the exhibition was a bit Tracey Emin; there were several references to sex and abandonment in the pieces. - 29 January 2012 20:03150194"Knit one, purl one and cast off." Are all typical knitting terms Jeane.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
