Have you seen this cool fiber art project?
Two Amsterdam-based artists, Lenert Engleberts & Sander Plug use designer sweaters as their medium in this piece that is part sculpture, part performance. Taking sweaters from last season from designers such as Prada and Celine, the duo carefully unravels each garment.
Once completely unraveled, the remaining yarn is wound into a ball, and the garment label attached in plain view.
What does this piece say to you? Does it make you think of upcycling? Of the relationship between process and material? And what do you think it says about these designers?
