Ever thought how people made fake skeletons for your science class display? Well, I don’t think they use this similar method, but it’s still quite close to what you see in your laboratory. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we are witnessing uber knitting skills that have reached over 9000!

This is a ‘somewhat’ complete skeleton of possibly a human, hand-knit by an artist called Ben Cuevas as part of an installation piece about calcium and building strong bones, or something similar… it does look quite creepily accurate.

The installation piece Ben Cuevas chose to showcase at The Wassaic Project features a knitted skeleton seated atop a pyramid of Borden’s condensed milk cans and a cloud of screen prints on Plexi glass suspended above it. The knitted skeleton is seated in the lotus position. The prints are of disembodied anatomical parts photographed in high resolution with diagrammatic illustrative overlays. Ben conceives of the piece as a reference to material culture and Wassaic’s local history (The Borden Company had a condensed milk factory in Wassaic) and a meditation on transcendence. -Bora Mici

By the way, is he sponsored by Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk?
