Do you want your children to grow up in love and affection, surrounded by tenderness and love? Then do not read this article, and in any case do not show it to children. Otherwise, there was no good mood, but disappointment in the fact that this world is good and kind, and people are pleasant and sweet - as much as you like. Dead hares, seals crushed by the wheels of a car, severed limbs and other creepy things - this is not a summary of accidents for a week, but knitted toys that the artist creates with inspiration Patricia Waller … No, she is not a maniac at all, and not even a pathologist, who, due to the nature of the profession, as a rule, has a very specific thinking and sense of humor. It's just such a special, author's way of dealing with fears and what causes them, an unusual stress therapy. And to remind once again that "watch yourself, be careful" is never superfluous, says Patricia Waller. After all, the animals in her knitting did not die by their own death, but died under the wheels of a car, or from an ax blow, or even from the attack of other, more powerful and cruel, animals.
A hook and thread, as well as some additional materials to give the toys the necessary shape and decor - that's all the artist needs to work. Well, also the stories that she, as a rule, draws from the news and newspapers, and then exaggerates a little to make it more impressive and better remembered. And how can you not remember a knitted two-meter crocodile gnawing a small child, or a huge Bugs Bunny pierced with a knitted pitchfork?
Patricia Waller was born in Santiago (Chile) and then moved to Germany, where she received an art education and stayed to live and work. In the collection of cruel toys Violence toys there is a lot more to tickle your nerves and give you the opportunity to rattle about "times, about morals", so welcome to Patricia Waller's website.
