I recently got reminded of some amazing craft artists by flipping through this book....
and saw the work of Margarita Cabrera a Mexican born artist who made a body of work which is...
appliances made from sweatshop labourers in Mexican villages, she purchases the product, partially hand makes them with thread and fabric and the reincorporates this into the original object... commenting on labor and border politics....
She has also made VW's, tractors, bikes, and hummers!!!
She has also done a series of Desert Plants, and since I am currently both sewing and knitting a plant I was excited....
For more on Margarita check out her gallery....
