Freddie Robbins
Craft Kills, Freddie Robbins, 2002
Craft Kills is a self-portrait of Freddie Robins as St. Sebastian, with knitting needles piercing her woolly skin – a play on the idea of suffering for arts sake, and a comment on the view that craft is a benign activity.
Ronbbins' work is set to appear with the work of uo tp 20 other artists in a forthcoming exhibition entitled Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting, at the Museum of Arts & Design in New York, January 25 - May 6, 2007. Robbins has an experimental website which looks at the similarities between using the internet and knitting.
