Ming Yi Sung Zaleski's crocheted nudes cause controversy

mingyisung.jpgTired of crocheting doilies and afghans? If you're after a bit of crochet inspiration you can't go kookier than the amazing crafty artwork of Ming Yi Sung Zaleski. But some folks didn't find her art quite so fabulous.

The Taiwanese born artist, who grew up in the US and now teaches in Virginia, moved from painting to many different mediums, before finding her voice in crochet sculptures.

In the short film 'Public Art, Private Parts' the tale of the controversy around the artist's portrayal of woolly nudes in an exhibition is Washington DC is unravelled. Her solution to the grumbling of the building's more grumpy tenants is brilliant and delightfully cheeky.
