Description

Inspired by the way that light changes throughout the day as direct sunlight casts light beams through a window, this long sleeve design by Philly-based artist Andrea Arts shows how handmade wearables interact with and create meaning in everyday life.

This sweater was made with 100% cotton yarn that was reclaimed from second-hand sweaters.

Sleeves: 18 inches
Chest: 20 inches
Neck to hem: 18 inches

Meet the Artist

A photograph of a young white woman with light brown hair drawing while seated at a table. She is wearing a periwinkle colored sweater with tan and black stripes on the chest. She draws with a marker in her right hand while her left arm rests on the table with her hand supporting her head. The drawing features a repeated pattern of a loopy grid. Various rolls of materials stand upright in the background over her right shoulder.
