Knitty Gritty
croatiantimes.com
A concept artist is facing fury over a new exhibition showing well-loved children's cartoon characters meeting gruesome ends in bizarre crocheted sculptures.
Nutty knitter Patricia Waller, from Berlin, Germany, depicts SpongeBob SquarePants as a suicide bomber and shows Winnie the Pooh hanging with a noose around his neck.
Other show Hello Kitty about to commit Hara-Kiri with a sword at her chest and Minnie Mouse lying in a pool of blood apparently after a brutal rape.
Waller, 49, explained: "This show is about heroes and failure. Heroes serve a role model function that reflects our longing for something special, but I wanted to show what happens when they fail."
Other exhibits at Galerie Deschler Broken Heroes show feature Sesame Street's Ernie as a down and out living in the gutter and Superman cut in half by a wall.
Gallery owner Simone Deschler said: "The exhibit is really popular."
But one parent said: "How is showing my daughter's favourite Disney character raped anything to do with art? They should be ashamed of themselves."
