A resident of Washington by name Rania Hassan says that she owes her creative career entirely to her friends, who once taught her to knit. Very quickly, the girl became interested in this activity, so much so that she simply fell in love with the soft fluffy yarn, the intricacies of threads and knots, and, of course, with the results that delighted not only her, as the author-creator, but also the family and friends whom the girl presented with your knitting. However, Rania Hassan had another hobby - painting. And in order to combine two hobbies in one, the girl conceived an original art project, which she brought to life under a pseudonym Shoofly … The complex installations of the artist-needlewoman consist, as you might guess, of several parts. First and foremost, this is, of course, knitting. Most often it is a long scarf, or a fragment of a thin gossamer shawl, or even a fishing net. And secondly, but still in the main, these are the hands of the master, drawn, pardon the pun, by the hands of the master. Combining first and second together, we get what is called mixed creativity from Rania Hassan.
What is captivating in the work of a needlewoman is that her works are as real as they are imaginary. Products that seem to weave the drawn hands of invisible knitters with drawn knitting needles can be touched, stroked, applied to yourself, and you can feel the soft fluffy fibers of yarn on your body. And at the same time they look like a part of some other world, which we, by some miracle, can see right here and right now. Alice Through the Looking Glass, and nothing more.
You can look into this unusual world of mixed "looking through the looking glass" creativity on the website of Rania Hassan, or in her online store Shoofly.
