Annette Streyl
"Buildings that have the purpose of supporting claims to power must never be feminine, cute or sweet; instead they should intimidate." Sculptor Annette Streyl intertwines Deutsche Bank and McDonald's or Ikea and the Palace of the Republic in Berlin, weaving power, material and market together in her 1:100 scale, felted objects.

Sculptural knitting! I stumbled upon this book in my university's library while looking for contemporary artists who use knitting in their work. Now, I'm a huge fan of Streyl's architectural knits! The book features images of her buildings both on and off their armatures and discusses her critique of consumerism and global branding. Particular emphasis on buildings in Berlin. Highly recommended for those knitters seeking out-of-the-box scultpural ideas and for art teachers looking to bring in some contemporary fiber art exemplars.
