crochet tapestries

2023/24

A landscape crochet tapestry sign made with acrylic yarn. It has a white background with dark blue lettering. The top line reads “SEDOT WC”, an Indonesian word, and a phone number beneath it “70205457” both in a tall sans-serif font. The sign refers to printed advertisements often seen on electrical poles in the streets of Indonesia, with this one being an ad for toilet plumbing. “SEDOT WC” roughly translates to “sucking toilet”. The tapestry uses a double-crochet stitch, a taller stitch that creates complex textures. The soft and tactile nature of the yarn gives the work a sense of warmth and comfort.
