Cassie Arnold
Stereotype Sweater (Women’s Edition)
Hand knit ultimate merino wool, superbaby alpaca
Cassie Arnold’s current body of work explores the unspoken and taboo topics connected to life as a woman. Whether it be inspired by miscarriage, breastfeeding, or the transformative female form, her art encourages all people to engage in an open and unashamed dialogue. By using traditional fiber techniques like knitting, she hopes to change the cultural narrative of “women’s work.” Stitch by stitch, her goal is to challenge the stereotypes surrounding females, their bodies, their work, their capabilities, and their lives.
