shauna richardson: crochetdermy


primate

UK-based artist shauna richardson develops life-size animals through the process of crocheting.
she uses the term 'crochetdermy' to better explain her work which makes strong references
to taxidermy. her pieces are made with materials like coarse wools such as mohair mixes,
glass eyes, reproduction claws etc. the free-style crochet technique she applies is executed
with a 3mm hook, using one color and one stitch. the direction of the stitches highlighting
anatomical features. it usually takes her months to complete one piece.

This is not to be confused with crotchedermy, which is much less appealing and significantly more painful.
