bike rail yarn bomb by

sewn on at night, this yarn bomb [knitted street art] was designed for and put on the bike rack outside the IGA supermarket ,York,Western Australia. Much to the amusement of diners at the York,hotel opposite. it lasted a week or so, and travelled up and down the bike rack,and attracted a lovely tag from another couple of artists, who got the idea.before being torn apart by a dog?, or very bored/angry?person. the gekko was salvaged to grace another work, another day.

  • great to hear other aussies are “doing it”, we have no public art in York, and the shire are not receptive, so its “do it anyway”!
