“By turning digital images into tangible art objects I transform the language of pictograms, which sometimes substitutes natural languages, into the category of the modern cultural symbols,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “Pixels become yarn stitches and emojis themselves instead of being images to be selected with just one click become an object, and a lot of effort is required in order to create it.”

She spent more than 300 hours doing this project which was first presented at Art Miami week in 2019. If you are interested to see her emojis, check out the gallery below. You can also follow her on Instagram for more amazing images.

“As a teenager, I learned how to crochet from my mom, Takako Yamashiro,” she recalled in an interview with the Urban Outfitters blog. “I never learned how to read patterns. It definitely wasn’t an immediate love, I would crochet a scarf here and there, but it’s nothing serious. Then one summer, years ago, I decided to try to make matching costumes for my best friend and me. They were neon and rainbow and very short, because I got too excited and wanted us to wear them before they were actually ‘done.’ Once I figured out that crochet could be so much more than scarfs and baby blankets, the possibilities were endless. I have been consistently crocheting since then, making costumes, bikinis, soft sculpture, wall hangings, pillows, giant portraits based on the Cathy comics…”

“Crochet is a time-consuming process, so usually when I am half-way into a project, I have already gotten an idea for the next piece,” she added. “I try to challenge myself to do something new, whether it is a new technique or subject matter. Crochet is so versatile and I want to use this medium in new ways. With so much being produced by machine, ‘perfection’ is no longer interesting to me. I used to strive for the ability and skill to be able to produce physically what I envisioned mentally. But now, the changes that occur in the translation from the imagination to material, feel exciting and human. I see what is lost or misinterpreted in translation as the interesting and unique part of the magic that is created when something is made by hand.”

Indeed, her hand-crafted works are infused with the kind of magic that hand-crafted items always carry within them, making her items personal, endearing, and all the more creative. Take a look at some of her creations in the gallery below.

McCormack works from her studio in South Philly, where she lives with her two cats. Her website states that she “crochets to forget the world, in the chaos of her slovenly, nest-like studio.”

Her bone-like materials are made from discarded textile materials, covered with enamel paint. She then crochets them into skeletons of animals, humans, and sometimes even fantastic creatures such as a two-headed bat. Her creations are then placed in glass cases, that call to mind old time specimens.

Under her crafted hands, the endearing hobby of crochet is made somewhat bleak. By using a technique inherited from her family members, McCormack says she “aim[s] to generate emblems of my diminishing bloodline, embodied by each organism’s skeletal remains.”

Check out some of her curious creations.

Her works include sculptures and installations such as crocheted bicycles and inflatables. She has covered buildings, sculptures, people, and an apartment with crochet and has exhibited in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Turkey, France, Italy, Poland, and Costa Rica.

Currently based in New York City, the Polish artist in an avid supporter
women’s rights, equality, and freedom of expression.

In 2009, she stated: “I think crochet, the way I create it, is a metaphor for the complexity and interconnectedness of our body and its systems and psychology. The connections are stronger as one fabric as opposed to separate strands, but, if you cut one, the whole thing will fall apart. Relationships are complex and greatly vary situation to situation. They are developmental journeys of growth, and transformation. Time passes, great distances are surpassed and the fabric which individuals are composed of compiles and unravels simultaneously.”
