I love how there's both a masculine and a feminine touch to his craft. It's both delicate, but durable; hard, yet pliable, and modern, but based in tradition. It makes me think of the work of the fantastic masculine crochet artist, Nathan Vincent http://www.nathanvincent.com.

I'd like to know the scale. Are these wall hangings or bed-sized quilts? Are they meant to hang or ot use? (Eitehr way they are excellent, but my view changes some if they are intended as functional bed clothes.)
