Knitted Food
14 December 2010
How brilliant is this. Knitted food. Honest. There's knitted food on show at Greenwich Tourist Information Centre right now and until the 2nd of January. I went the other day and got hungry just looking.
The artist is local resident Susie Johns and she says: "The exhibition consists of my knitted fruits and vegetables, including the pea pods, carrots, apples, cauliflower florets, artichoke (shown here), pumpkin and so on.
There's also some of my knitted fast food including the prawns and sushi, as well as about 10 watercolour paintings of fruit and vegetables that I painted this summer at my friend Nicky Sanderson's studio in Leith, Edinburgh and at Hospitalfields in Arbroath."
You can buy some of the items if you know someone who'd enjoy a wooly Yule, and frankly, who wouldn't? There are books too, so you can spend the Christmas holidays whipping up your own downy delicatessen.
The Tourist Information Centre has a different exhibition every month or two so it's always worth dropping in when you're visiting, and if you've never seen kniited food, you know where to come.
Knitted food. Genius.
