Textile artists Sue Hunter and Karima Sundarji have been knitting up a storm with their project Straphangers Lounge. The pair have lovingly re-created NYC subway scenes with fabric. For up to date info checkout the instagram account @straphangers.lounge, the artists will be presenting at Knitting Live later this week.
The quintessential MetroCards are going away, the iconic Dr. Zizmor ads have faded, and pizza rat’s spotlight has dimmed, but they all live on in an unusual medium: Fabric. Two skillful knitters have recreated these subway staples completely out of textiles.
With knitting, crocheting, quilting, and hand-sewing, Sue Hunter and Karima Sundarji have created an uncannily accurate rendering of the New York City subway. They call it Straphangers Lounge
