For "Deeply Superficial",
Mary has produced sweaters featuring tributes
to rock and roll stars past and present,
legendary ladies of song and screen
and some fab ads and famous firsts.
AND, for the first time ever in 3D,
using ChromaDepth technology,
she has produced a range of sweaters
paying homage to some of Lou Reed ‘s finest songs
and great masters in the world of art.
On Wednesday August 27th 2014
a rather unique show will open at the Serpentine Community Gallery
- "I'll be your mirror" -
a knitted tribute to Lou Reed
and the 40th anniversary of his first Australian tour.
The show is the result of a collaboration between
Mary Adams, a visual artist who now lives in Lismore,
and local photographer Katrina Mathieson.
Mary Adams and Katrina Mathieson

for over 40 years, producing hand loomed garments in pure wool
using a range of images from popular culture.

Photographs taken by Ms Mathieson
