Life-sized Knit Ferarri by artist Lauren Porter. This amazing knit ferrari was made with 12 miles of yarn! The Ferrari was modeled off the F355, and took her 10 months to put together. Lauren was able to convince friends and family members to help knit 240 red woollen squares, in which she assembled and put together over the metal frame of the car.

Notes from the artist’s statement,
“By using craft as an art form I am provided with rich social and historical connotations crucial to the work I produce.
I created a Ferrari because it is instantly recognisable and the opposite of what people expect from something that is knitted. Bringing binary opposites together results in the work becoming appealing to a mixture of audiences. I want as many people as possible to see and enjoy my work — including those who wouldn’t ordinarily go to an art gallery.”
