The White Knitta






















Spotted on Pike Street, Capitol Hill, this graceful Knitta work adorns a bus schedule sign in front of the Cha Cha bar. More sophisticated than the previous pieces posted here, the rolled collar and slouchy fit are a nice counterpoint to the hard gray steel and right angles. The red accent stitching balances the white/gray tones and livens the piece up considerably. The placement at a bus stop improves chances that it will be seen by many. Let's hope it'll survive the demolition of the entire block as developers make way for a retail/condo edifice.

Flower Children


A very ludic arrangement and a glorious solution to a broken figurine. I cannot say more, so I will only quote Björk's song,

Venus As A Boy
his wicked sense of humour / suggests exciting sex / his fingers focus on her / touches, he's venus as a boy

he believes in beauty / he's venus as a boy

he's exploring / the taste of her
arousal / so accurate
he sets off / the beauty in het / he's venus as a boy

he believes in beauty / he's venus as a boy
