Shirley Manson (Garbage) on knitting as sculpture and fortune tellers: "Alternative Press were early believers in Garbage and played a large part in carving out a loyal following for us over the years. When they approached me about taking part in an exhibition to celebrate their 25th anniversary, it would have been exceedingly churlish to refuse. I am not a visual artist in any way, shape or form but I am a lover of the arts so I gleefully embraced the challenge of creating something. I tried to think of an opposite to "alternative" which led me to consider knitting something. I then decided to subvert the medium completely thus producing "Peking Noodle (Ode to Louise Bourgeois)". Maybe it's an all seeing eye... fortune teller to the world, maybe it isn't. Art, as they so often say, is in the eye of the beholder!" Kinda looks as if lambchop jr. is being birthed/everyone's a critic. I do love the title and randomness.

You got to love her conviction and the way she articulates herself. Love you Shirley

Rik, you're a perv. But now that you mention it, who says which way you have to hang it.
