A Day of Weaving

Woven installations around urban infrastructure.
Inspired by Knitta—a group of artists that tag the city with colorful knit graffiti, I got a group of friends together to do an afternoon of woven installations around New York. The technique we used was modeled after the maypole dance and requires a lot of ribbon and giggling.
