Boys who sew

The Crafts Council of London is presenting an exhibition entitled Boys Who Sew, intended to serve as a "challenge to preconceptions and a play on the presentation of masculinity in textiles."

Craig Fisher's masculinity presents itself through his soft sculptures, which include dynamite and bombs made from furnishing fabrics, and mysterious machines and gadgets of the type you might expect to find on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.

I refuse to comment. It's just too easy.
