Knitted skeleton
I'm agog at Ben Cuevas's knitted skeleton installation -- as @laurenbeukes says, "Check out the vertebrae!" "The installation piece Ben Cuevas chose to showcase at The Wassaic Project features a knitted skeleton seated atop a pyramid of Borden's condensed milk cans and a cloud of screen prints on Plexi glass suspended above it. The knitted skeleton is seated in the lotus position. The prints are of disembodied anatomical parts photographed in high resolution with diagrammatic illustrative overlays. Ben conceives of the piece as a reference to material culture and Wassaic's local history (The Borden Company had a condensed milk factory in Wassaic) and a meditation on transcendence." -Bora Mici Transcending the Material (via @laurenbeukes)...Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/bSMY81lwUJ8/knitted-skeleton.html
