At this year’s Upfest I have been struck by how many female street artists there are, which is really great, because I think there is a perception that most street artists tend to be male. Well, there was a great mix of gender, nationality and style, and perhaps Danielle Clough, who comes from South Africa and works with thick bright embroidery thread most embodies this extraordinary diversity.
Danielle was working hard in the hot sun on Saturday creating this magnificent piece, and continued her work through Sunday in the slightly cooler and at times wetter weather. The outcome is absolutely beautiful, and I hope it will be there for some time to come.
I believe this work by Danielle is the first time I have posted work by a known ‘yarn bomber’, but it certainly will not be the last. Refreshing and beautiful.

Wow! Nice work. What was on her hat? I’m trying to make it out, but I can’t.

I don’t know…I was too distracted by the flamingo tattoo on her leg.

To my shame I took a close up picture of it. I am not really into body art, but it was beautifully done.

I love how street art more and more is becoming diverse not only in terms of artists’ backgrounds but also styles, mediums, etc. It truly makes the outdoors a museum, one accessible to everyone.
