January 2004. Using only knitting needles and the occasional crochet hook, Tatyana Yanishevsky began to grow her own garden out of yarn. Human sized and touchable, every flower confronts you with its unique set of alien features.

Each knit sculpture uses a variety of fibers, colors, and stitches to describe each organ of a real plant. Many include other materials which support or oppose the yarn form to enrich and deepen the flower's character.

In addition to yarn, Tatyana uses steel, cement, plastics, rubber, paint, light, and electricity. Motion, smell, and weather-proofing for outdoor showing will soon make their way into the work as well.

If you are interested in exhibiting the Knit Garden, purchasing, commissioning, or suggesting a collaboration or exchange, please email info@knitplants.com.
