PATRICIA WALLER
born in santiago, chile, lives and works in berlin, germany. she has a pair of needles and she’s not afraid to use them! her work consists of terrible, gory scenes and still, one cannot feel sickened, as they are just yarn. confusing and oddly appealing. perhaps you can send the link to the angsty teenager...
