A couple days ago, my father-in-law was very insistent about taking us to the White Rabbit Gallery, a contemporary Chinese art gallery in Sydney.

Imagine my surprise, when amongst all of the paintings and sculptures, I spotted this:

It’s a robe, knitted with paper made from yarn! Do you see the book to the right? All of the pages of the book were cut out and spun into yarn and used in the robe.

It’s an amazing piece!
