www.madewithsweetlove.com/art.htmlI was watching late night tv and saw a cool segment regarding Whitney Lee and her
latch-hook artwork (once even shown here in Toronto!)
I thought it was such a creative concept to take crafty latch-hooking and make it new again
in a totally different way.
"What happens when you take some revolutionary sexual politics and mix in a kitch-y craft medium? Besides making an object that is sure to be ultra-hip, you’re producing artwork with a whole new layer of meaning. "
"My work was successful largely because of the giggly irony of seeing a sex-pot image in a medium that you associate with your grandmother. It also embodies a reaction against mass-consumerism, both in the handmade element to the work and the sex-for-sex’s-sake imagery, rather than sex being used to sell a product. In that way pornography is more honest than advertising. "
