crocheted gender bending
Crochet consistently proves itself easy to loop into shape, it’s a great sculptural technique. But it’s also interesting when sculptors consider the cultural implications of the method and materials.
In his artist statement, Nathan Vincent explains that he intends his work to critique “stereotypical gender mediums by creating “masculine objects” using “feminine processes” such as crochet, sewing, and applique”.

Seen at Crochet by Faye who pointed out an article about his work: Talking Crochet.
His work “The Lodge” is showing at Contemporary Arts Center of Virginia, No One Knows until July 9, 2006.

I saw something similar on (don’t tell anyone) The Sun website. A lady has knitted herself a very masculine looking ferrari. There is no artist statement as such, but I wouldn’t really expect to find one in that particular newspaper!
