bio: "Based in Houston, TX, Bradford is an artist who crochets sweaters for inanimate objects, referencing connotations associated with the handmade and personal ideas of comfort and warmth, and juxtaposing with the absurdity of its application. She has covered a variety of items in handmade sweaters, including trees, vacuum cleaners, and groceries. Her most recent work involves crocheting sweaters for taxidermied animal heads. Her work has recently been exhibited in group shows at Finesilver Gallery in Houston, TX, MassArt in Boston, MA and Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, CA."
