The life sized crocheted and knitted figures of Finnish artist Liisa Hietanen – all modelled on friends and neighbours in her hometown of Hämeenkyrö. She sez:
“I meet my models in natural everyday situations. The process of choosing a model is intuitive. The person depicted might be someone I meet in the library, in the locker room of the gym, or walking their dog on the way home. I don’t know most of my models beforehand but as the process goes on I get to know them.”
Once complete, Liisa’s yarny doppelgängers are displayed in the town and have also featured in group exhibitions.

Animal sculptures wrapped in five-needle lace, handmade cotton crochet webbing by Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos. The animals are reproductions of oversized ceramic pieces by the 19th century Portuguese artisan Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro (1846-1905).
The idea being to one-up the works with an overlay of feminine domesticity, radicalising preconceived notions of modernism, tradition and motherhood.
Where is your God now?
