Magda Sayeg is a textile artist most widely known for starting the yarn bombing movement. It started as a way to take her knitting out onto the streets, graffiti style, starting a revolution that swept the world. 
Her notable work includes covering large scale objects in knitting such as the well known bus in Mexico City in 2007. 
She continues to expand her boundaries leading community-based projects as well as working on commissions around the world with brands such as Commes Des Garçons, Dover Street Market, 7UP, Madewell and Mini Cooper. 
Recent projects include an installation covering the a London double decker bus in knitted material, as well as covering a fountain in Santiago, Chile. 
In addition, she creates small scale pieces including her crocheted covered balls and her spyrograph series. She lives in Austin, Texas.

Materials: acrylic yarn

The yoga balls are a continuation into my exploration of covering every day objects in hand made material to transform their identity with out taking away their original function. My passion comes from combining humble material with human attributes such as knitting and crochet on mundane and inanimate objects to see them enhanced and even personified. Materials consist of acrylic yarn and plastic yoga balls.
