Ashley Blalock: Keeping Up Appearances

San Diego-based artist Ashley Blalock created a large-scale, site-specific crocheted installation for the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for their 30th Anniversary.

Says Blalock: This slow, meditative process is a remedy to world increasingly comprised of virtual connections, quick transitions, planned obsolescence, and instant gratification.”

Fiber
