Amy Caterina's Knit Creatures

You know, that fuzzy yarn that most knitters have in their stash from their beginning knitting days? Most of the time it’s sent to the bottom of the stash once you realize you can’t really see your stitches to know they’re done correctly.

Artist Amy Caterina, current artist-in-residence at CalState Fullerton’s Grand Central Gallery in Santa Ana, CA has managed to use up quite a stash of fun fur. In her installation “This used to be real estate, now it’s only fields and trees.” she knit up several forest creatures—not tiny ones, either—placed in a faux environment of trees and sunny skies.

I guess there is something back in the OC that I have to miss! I’m trying to remember what David Byrne song this artwork reminds me of, but I can’t at the moment.
