I uploaded some photos of artwork using traditional yarn and thread crafts to my photobucket account only to get to my account today to find this little notice: <\/a><\/p>\n

It took me a minute to realize that it had been an needlepointed image of a reclining nude man by Maria Eugenia Pineres called Red Crosses<\/em> (2004), and yes, you could see his penis. If I can work it out to show the image with his penis covered, I’ll do that. The original artwork is smaller than a sheet of paper and his penis had to be less than a centimeter… In any case, you can view other works by Pineres at her gallery”s website, DCKT Contemporary<\/a> or by clicking on the violation message. That’s really sticking it to the man.<\/p>\n

Ah well. So on to the less “offensive” images (sheesh, I remember working in a cappuccino bar where people were honestly offended by a replica of Michelangelo’s David – come on people!)<\/p>\n

This work by Miyoshi Barosh was a large wall hanging stitched together from pieces of found and gifted afghans, plus lots of pom poms. I love the gi-normous acrylic yarn tassles and the way Barosh puts together traditional (read: conservative) craft in an eye-popping psychedelic way. Besides which, she’s taking a craft form that relies heavily on color and colors next to colors and explodes those quiet three shades of blue. Barosh is represented by Seminal Projects<\/a> in San Diego.<\/p>\n
