“It’s Growing Strong”

This is the last day to see @mister_caitlin’s incredible show at @lastritesgallery. I can’t say enough about this work, it’s a really stellar collection of guys, and I wish I could hang out with all of them forever. Stop in today, or check out the show online if you can’t make it to NYC. There are still some affordable pieces left and you’d be a fool to miss out! #Repost @mister_caitlin with @get_repost ・・・ Today is the final day to view my first solo NYC exhibition, ANTIBEAST, at @lastritesgallery. Thanks very much to the gallery for putting it all together, to @booooooom for saying something about it on the internet, and to everyone who came out to see the things I made. It means a hell of a lot to me. . . . #biosurrealism #darksurrealism #mistercaitlin #fiberart #fibersculpture #fiberartist #sculpture #nycartgallery #nycart #lastritesnyc #lastritesgallerynyc #lastritesgallery #crochet #crochetart #crochetersofinstagram #ineedyourskulls (at Last Rites Gallery)

Crop of “Onset of Senescence” 🌿 I was lucky to be able to go on many, many (many) hikes starting early this Spring. Sometimes I’d forage and cram minerals, stalks, and berries into my pockets, mash them into dust or paste, and smoosh the resultant material into absorbent cotton fibers, prior to crocheting. Coping is a process, and I guess I’m trying to integrate mementos of my attempts into my studio practice. . . This work is currently on view at @archenemyarts in Philadelphia as a part of a winter group exhibition.

I’ve been off the grid so this guy doesn’t have to be. Currently up to my eyeballs in new work for an upcoming solo exhibition at @hashimotocontemporary // A huge part of my process involves crocheting non-stop for a year. It always feels as though I’ve done nothing but amass a collection of piles until, suddenly, things start coming together. Soon, I’ll have more stuff to show you guys. . . . . #crochet #crochetart #fiberart #fibersculpture #textileart #textiledesign #textilesculpture #hashimotocontemporary #newcontemporaryart #newcontemporary #biosurrealism #crochetflower #animalartist #fiberartist (at South Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0oLpO9HWPd/?igshid=1sh73qz5zr0v2

Putting the piles of crocheted plant life that have been amassing in every corner of my studio to use, after about a year of fabrication. #wip for GRANNY, my upcoming solo show at @hashimotocontemporary in San Francisco 🌿 . . . . #crochet #crochetart #crochetartist #crochetanimal #fiberart #fiberartist #textiledesign #textileart #sculpture #newcontemporaryart #newcontemporary #biosurrealism #birds #birbs #hashimotocontemporary (at Hashimoto Contemporary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B08fSOrnWQQ/?igshid=8aehfdq91s2k

Here’s a #fbf to 2015, when this piece and a few others were included in the @museumrijswijk Textile Biennial. Taking part in that exhibition was such a mind-blowing experience and I feel so lucky to have been a participant. The work included in the most recent biennial is really amazing - you should take a look, if you can. . . These guys are currently residing in NYC at @lastritesgallery 🌿 . . . #rijswijkmuseum #rijswijktextilebiennial #textileart #fiberart #sculpture #crochet #crochetart #biosurrealism #animalart #skeleton #crochetbone #crochetskeleton #fibersculpture (at Museum Rijswijk) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzRA_RMnZdg/?igshid=l2ttk6er3ltb

Here’s an old-ass piece with a mean-ass snake attacking the shit out of a cute-ass baby deer. Nature is cruel. . This piece was on display at Paradigm Gallery + Studio in Philly a few years ago, for a solo exhibit called MNEMOSYNE. My next show opens in about a month at @paradigmgs, on 2/22. There will be some dick-ass wieners, and some other things. See you there? . . . #biosurrealism #fiberart #fibersculpture #crochet #crochetart #sculpture #wieners (at South Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtM4xMDH2YH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=41hslde3wjo6
