A Massive Crocheted Hillary Clinton Billboard Adorns Entrance to Holland Tunnel

Back to Article

I involved people across the USA to help me with this project. It was about a community working together and making a statement. We had two groups – one in Virginia Beach and one in NYC. The excitement was tangible as we worked together to make this happen. Each day we gathered in my tiny studio, those outside of NYC would join via Our private FB group, as we all crocheted around the clock, talking to each other about our commitments to this piece and to Hillary Clinton, listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks.  Everyone involved jumped on this project because they believe in it. We are happy that we have achieved it. Thank you #teamolek Our ages range from 14 to 69!!!
