Tree Sweaters

Suzanne Tidwell - Seattle's Occidental Park

Suzanne Tidwells  is a fiber artist working primarily in the Seattle area. Her Yarn Bombing project in Seattle's Occidental Park started when she was invited by Seatlle Parks & Recreation  to be a contributing artist in their summer ARTSparks Program. She was given the permission to wrap almost everything inside the park, except for the existing sculptures, totem poles and trash cans! 

Suzanne on her turn invited all of her knitting friends to start knitting 'the color palette of warm summer stripes (purlple, red, orange, yellow and pink)'.

Looking for Sarah ...

Sarah Applebaum lives and works in San Fransisco. 'Her work bridges the gap between the psychological and the psychedelic, bringing freedom and an exploratory ethos to the art making process'. Often she 'weaves' her own person in the art installation, becoming one with her handmade knittet artwork.

Comfortable wood

'It looks and smells familiar but feels strange, as it is able to move and form in unexpected ways' - This wonderful plaid is part of the 'Wooden Textiles' collection by Elisa Strozyk, a textile designer from Berlin. The blanket is half wood-half textile and can be shaped in all different ways ...... like a blanket. (Photos by Sebastian Neeb)
