Crochet-Consumed Characters (UPDATE)

Olek 'Knitting is for Pus****' Continues to Thrive

If you feel that at times your life is unravelling, take a string from the spool of this artist and metaphorically apply the Olek 'Knitting is for Pus****' project to tying up loose ends in your life.

This eccentric crochet collection has been derived from various sources of inspiration. Olek turns movie plots, texts messages, medical reports and more into living knitted masterpieces. Watch the film of the Olek 'Knitting is for Pus****' installation in process and be sure to check out the exhibition if you're in Miami.
