The Anatomical Knit-Hood Series, Knitted Human Anatomy Sculptures

Skeletal

Los Angeles-based mixed media artist Ben Cuevas has created The Anatomical Knit-Hood Series, a five-part collection of knit sculptures that represent “a different layer of the human anatomy.”

They reveal that which is normally concealed while commingling notions of art, craft, fashion and design. The work is intended to be at once beautiful and grotesque, disturbing yet comforting, endearingly crafted yet fetishistically sinister, simultaneously serving as a meditation on the intricacies of the human form in all its multi-layered complexities.
