An interior designer and model maker, Dance specializes in crafting models and props used in advertising campaigns, editorial commissions, window displays, and art installations. Her selected clients include brands like Christian Louboutin, Google, Mulberry, and Selfridges, making her seemingly ordinary objects a novelty that’s high on demand.

“I’m often inspired by very ‘normal’ everyday items, items that portray the luxury of choice and comfort in the western world,” she remarks. “I always aim for my work to be graphical, with a playful edge,” she adds. Her day to day includes sculpting, knitting or stitching.

According to Dance, knitting and embroidery are typically perceived as “feminine crafts”. However, she aims to take gender out of the equation when it comes to her work itself. “I always strive to produce a carefully considered design, with a strong concept, using quality materials,” she stressed.

Carol Milne is a sculptor from Seattle who makes astonishing glass sculptures that resemble knitting works to the smallest details. Using a variation of the wax casting process, Milne is able to create numerous colorful glass threads that compose beautiful patterns.

Milne has experience in several different disciplines of art, but she has been exclusively dedicated to glass art since 2000. Through her work with glass, she often turned to experimentation and pushing the limits of her ingenuity, which led to this intriguing project.

“I see my knitted work as a metaphor for social structure,” the artist says on her website. “Individual strands are weak and brittle on their own, but deceptively strong when bound together. You can crack or break single threads without the whole structure falling apart. And even when the structure is broken, pieces remain bound together. The connections are what bring strength and integrity to the whole and what keep it intact.”
