“Let’s Play War!” … big crocheted army men with a message. LOVE! This is the work of Los Angeles based artist Nathan Vincent. I wrote about Nathan’s manly doily series in 2013, and I’m happy to report that his already fantastic work has evolved into this! Here’s a little more about this project:

Commissioned by the Bellevue Arts Museum in 2015, “Let’s Play War!” is a dynamic installation-based exhibition springing from the “Boy Toy” series.  The installation includes sixteen individual child sized sculptures that change position each day and “play”- echoing the activities of our youth and referencing the ways in which we teach children to associate violence and aggression with play and fun. 

Brilliant.
