#100womenproject

The #100womenproject is a collaborative international art installation facilitated by Amy featuring 2500+ crochet wisteria vines from over 500 women on 6 continents and 20+ countries. Submissions were accepted over a five week period and installed at The Temple of the Cosmic Mothership from May 1-9, 2015. This project gained international attention and was featured on blogs around the world, including Red Heart Yarn's blog. The #100womenproject was completed as part of Amy's honor thesis at the University of Richmond where she received her B.A..

A portion of this project was most recently on display at C3 Labs in Charlotte, NC. Below are images from that installation - featured a curated sampling of 450 vines.
