The Incredible Crocheted World of Olek

I recently discovered the Polish Artist Olek and I love her colorful, thought-provoking installations.

Olek herself says about her work:”I think crochet, the way I create it, is a metaphor for the complexity and interconnectedness of our body and its systems and psychology. The connections are stronger as one fabric as opposed to separate strands, but, if you cut one, the whole thing will fall apart.”
