We all know the anecdote about a caring grandmother who tied a condom to her grandson on a date. Perhaps this is how the American-Canadian artist will become in old age Dorie Millerson … In the meantime, she knits not personal hygiene items, but sculptures.
Knitting in our time is becoming no less popular occupation than in the days of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. True, it is not ordinary people who are doing it now, hoping to end up with scarce socks, hats and mittens, but people of art. Think of the dark knit toys from Patricia Waller, the crocheted vegetables from Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings, or the knitted craziness from Agata Olek.
So the artist Dory Millerson, born in Toronto, but now living in New York, is no stranger to crochet, knitting needles and yarn. With their help, she creates amazing knitted sculptures.
Moreover, the subject matter of her works can be completely different. Dory Millerson uses yarn to create various vehicles (cars of various brands, trams), infrastructure (bridge), and people (a series of scenes from family life).
Moreover, in order to emphasize the lightness and airiness of these sculptures of hers, Dory Millerson shows them not on tables and on shelves, but in a state suspended on strings.

Topographic food sculptures. Food topographic sculptures art project by Stephanie Herr
The inspiration of the German artist Stephanie Herr lies in the work of the compilers of topographic maps, in their volumetric creations, which can be called almost-sculptures, specific bas-reliefs. They need not only to be viewed, but to be able to understand and read, as one reads comics or stories written with pictures. Having studied the technique of creating relief sculptures, the artist willingly applies it in her own work, as can be seen by looking at the works from the Food topographic sculp series
