The art of crochet
Born in Scotland and now living and working in the USA, artist Jo Hamilton uses recycled and repurposed yarn to crochet large-scale portraits and architectural landscapes that explore the boundaries of art and craft. This portrait is of Xenobia Bailey, an American fibre artist who also specialises in large-scale crochet. www.johamiltonart.com
