Joana Vasconcelos caught the attention of the international art world in 2005 at the Venice Biennale. Her sculptural work is that which often marries highly intelligent concepts with playful execution. Her work will be immediately recognisable to some of you for the volume and dexterity of crochet work. However she makes important sculptural pieces which pull upon a great range of influences, materials and disciplines. Her output is prolific, having it's roots in sculpture it has grown in scale and detail, range and focus.

It takes plenty of smarts to be a knit-wit and these 15 crafty creations prove those who wield the needles are anything but woolly-minded. (image via: Daily Serving ) Dave Cole thinks knitting is going to be big someday, but he’s not waiting for that day to come. Instead, Cole uses unusual materials and inflated scales – as in the Construction Knitting piece shown above.

Monte A. Smith: I am a fine arts major with a digital media emphasis at the Metropolitan State College of Denver. I work mainly with narratives using video and photography. Lately I have become more interested in interactivity and installation. Outside of digital/new media I am working with street art in the form of knitted/crocheted coverings of things such as parking meters, bike racks, traffics signs etc. I started working with “knitfitti” in late 2005.Studio
