LOVE-ARMOR in the Icebox @ Crane Arts Center

The LOVE- Armor project is a collaborative work describing the empathy felt for those existing in war torn Afghanistan and Iraq.  The Icebox is in the Crane Art Center @ 1400 North American Street. Read the whole story here.

Sho & DoN were both drawn into the craftsmanship and thought utilized in the Hummer cozy including J. Crew style pockets, buttons and closures; the pictures of an actual Hummer covered in the crocheted cover reads like putting a daisy in the barrel of a gun.  The space is divided in two with cloth banners separating the movie area documenting the creative process and collaboration involved in producing the huge piece and is an experience design in itself; the movie is heartening and hopeful considering the dire situation.  No more War.
