Winter is a good time to buy a new sweater. However, when it comes to artists, especially those who specialize in the ambiguity of contemporary art, even ordinary sweaters begin to take on a special meaning. British artist Joseph Ford created a whole series of photographs that involved the work of Nina Dodd: together they created sweaters that completely blend in with their surroundings.
Joseph Ford called his project Knitted Camouflage. Of course, this project would not have been possible without the skilled hands and bottomless patience of Nina Dodd, who, in fact, knitted the sweaters. The idea was that a seemingly meaningless pattern on a sweater would only make sense in a certain place, where it would become part of the background. It certainly took a lot of time for Nina to create the right pattern. But the result was quite decent.
According to Joseph Ford, his contemporary art can best be described as “storytelling seasoned with unconventional creativity,” whatever that means. Joseph most often creates his somewhat controversial images for advertising, including for brands such as McDonalds, Renault, Shell, Vodafone and Lacoste.
Joshua Callaghan also presented an interesting kind of urban camouflage, which “disguised” trash cans, transformer booths and other necessary but extremely unsightly structures.
