Knitting Cranes

found on DailyServing.com:

The Knitting Machine is just one of artist Dave Cole’s large scale projects

that consist of ambitiously knitting unconventional materials.

In this particular piece Cole uses two excavation tractors equipped with 20′ knitting needles to assemble a giant American flag in time for the 4th of July (2005).

This work was part of larger exhibition and artist residence held at Mass Moca, North Adams, Mass.

Cole describes the work as

“combining the feminized domestic American tradition of knitting with the grandiose gesture of construction”.
