Wool, cotton and dacron

White Boob/Black Boob

Art demands you look at it. Sometimes it shows you things you’d rather not see or reveals something that’s hidden. White Boob/Black Boob by Megan Hansen-Knarhoi falls into the latter category. This bunch of boobs is both vulnerable and desirable, but also thrilling fun – like joyous little cupcakes that wink as you walk past. Small, colourful, and crocheted, they talk about art, gender, obsession and looking. They are playful examples of reinvigorated contemporary sculpture.
