Using primarily wool and sandstone, German artist Annette Streyl (born 1968) creates whimsical replicas of the built world: she has knitted versions of Berlin's Great Hall, McDonald's franchises and an Ikea superstore, to demystify the grandeur of architecture. Her burnt clay sculptures depicting medieval busts reimagine the historical relationship between craft, fine art and ornamentation.
