Nathan Vincent’s ‘Manly’ Doilies

Posted by Danielle | Mar 26, 2010 | Crochet Hacks, Yarn Bombs & Fiber Art | 1 |

Made by Nathan Vincent who says: “My work explores gender permissions and the challenges that arise from straying from the prescribed norms. It questions the qualities of gender by considering what constitutes masculine and feminine. It critiques stereotypical gender mediums by creating “masculine objects” using “feminine processes” such as crochet, sewing, and applique.”
