Nina!

I love using old-fashion craft technique as an art medium, and the challenge is to make them cool without looking too matronly. My newest obsession is Nina Braun's art, she knits, embroiders, sews, paints, she just does it all, with great sense of humor and attitude. Before Nina became a fine artist, she had a clothing label in Hamburg for skateboarding, which has a great influence on her work. I would have loved to get this Love Sculpture (second picture above) but would settle for the C print! Here are some of my favorite pieces, you can see all of her work here, and you can get a catalog of her recent exhibition at Helium Cowboy Gallery for 10 Euro here.photos: ninabraun.net
