Knitted Bridge



Providence, Rhode Island-based artist Dave Cole specializes in large-scale knitting. Recently, he created an enormous knitted piece covering an old bridge in Melbourne, Australia:

All around there it’s very dust-colored, so I chose the brightest, most fluorescent colors - orange and pink - and with 40 people we knitted one kilometer of two-foot-wide surveyors’ tape along the bridge. I used the Fibonacci sequence as a basis for the design so it looked like it was curving in and out and up and down.

Useless artist babble.

"of two-foot-wide surveyors’ tape"

2 FOOT WIDE tape - that must be one ginormous surveyor.

I'm sorry, but the 'fibonacci sequence blah blah blah' seems like bull to me; it doesn't look like it's curving at all. Just looks like somebody's crazy old grandma got loose and used a bridge to dry her laundry on the day she decided to wash all her blankets.
