I just found these articles about a beautiful installation piece in Oakand, made by university student Hye Jin Lee. You can see a large photo of it here.
Formed by weaving yarn into chainlink fences, the bold colours and geometric patterns used are reminiscent of quilt blocks and children’s crafts. With each motif standing several feet tall, the installation plays with scale in a really lovely way.
I like the idea of forming images this way, using the grid of a chainlink fence like a needlepoint canvas. It offers one advantage over other forms of yarn graffiti; it’s possible to make large, bold visual statements without a huge investment of time!
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooool! I wanna go play with yarn and fences!!!!
Wow! Those are amazing!
Absolutely beautiful!
love this!
I live across the street from a school that takes up an entire city block and is encircled by chain link fencing — I see a summer project ahead.
Found this blog with some lovely work being tagged around Wilkes-Barre, PA. Wish they had been doing this when I was there last year….
fences are really inspiring! we have some in germany…
