Yarn bombed tree

An example of 'yarn-bombing' - a form of street art and, sometimes, non-violent protest that entails the use of yarn and needle-crafts to create public displays. Trees are commonly yarn bombed by having stripes of coloured yarn kitted around branches. This photograph shows a small tree branch in Kirrawee, New South Wales wrapped in red, black, and yellow stripes of knitted yarn (artist unknown). The photograph was taken by UNSW criminologist A/Prof Alyce McGovern, as part of a project looking into yarn bombing and the wider phenomenon of 'craftivism' entitled, Stitching to resist: Pussyhats, knitting nannas and social justice craftivism.
