Street Art: Olek's Crochet Art

Street art can take the form of crochet or installation, as well as using traditional spray paint and stencils. An artist renowned for the crochet method is Agata Olek. Agata Olek was born in Poland, but she now lives in New York City. She recently had an exhibit in a gallery in London and has included some crochet items and messages for the public to appreciate in London and all over the world.

One example of her work is located on Sclater Street in Shoreditch. I took this photograph last summer, and the crochet looks a little more worn now than it did then. The crochet bicycle can be discovered on an old building above eye level.
