In 2004 artist Susie MacMurray created a beautiful sculptural form using latex gloves. She called the piece “A Mixture of Frailties” which was exhibited at The Museum of Arts & Design in New York City .
It is amazing to think that everyday objects can create something so lovely and interesting.

Paul Villinski collects stray gloves, he weaves and then hand-stitches them to create art. The wings are textural and dimensional, a conversation piece for sure. Definitely something for those who love the winged angel theme.

Gloves have been many things, highly ornamental, a sign of status and distinction and last but not least a form of protection. In the 10th century the glove became meaningful as a token; it became a custom to fling a gauntlet at the feet of the adversary, thereby challenging his integrity and inviting satisfaction by dual. The glove to challenge personal battle became and remained an integral part of English law for nearly 800 years. It was a right any free man could claim.
The glove as repurposed art will be sure to leave its mark.
