Hard is Soft









THERESA HONEYWELL takes macho objects and covers them in soft knitted coverings.

Historically, I am reminded of pop artist Claes Oldenburg’s (b. 1929) signature soft sculptures, made of sewn canvas and cloth —objects like soft hamburgers, sewing machines, and famous soft toilet.
