Lisa Anne Auerbach’s Knitwear

Portland peeps: It’ll be worth your while to read through this whole post, trust me.

I meant to post Lisa Anne Auerbach‘s work ages ago, I just spaced it completely, which is too bad… Lisa is an artist whose medium is knitting. And her messages are overtly political. Which is a good thing, because the juxitoposition of her almost girly knitwear with in-your-face political messages really works. She did a number of Obama-related pieces in the run up to the election, and participated in the Manifest Hope show in Denver during the Democratic National Convention.

Portlanders have the opportunity to hear Lisa talk about her work tomorrow, Thursday, December 4, at noon at an event at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in the Pearl District. This is a free event, and is open to the public. Here’s a link to the news release from PNCA and you can download the event flyer here.

We’ll see you there!

Yes We Can!
