SHEILA KLEIN
SOFT CITY
2020-2024
Crocheted Mercerized Cotton & Rayon
Soft City depicts streetlights, women, and buildings within a crocheted grid. Women are placed in the center of the urban environment. Crochet is like architecture: there are posts and openings. The idea is to domesticate the city.
