Grace Brett, a 104-year-old great-grandmother, probably is the oldest street artist in the world. She knits very well and with the skill of him participates in the project Yarn Bombing of the Stormer Souter group, in Scotland.
Recently thanks to the knitting the group of artists “bombarded” 46 landmarks in the Scottish county of Borders with colors. This willing granny reminds us of the story of the Australian grandfather who makes sweaters with his own hands to protect the penguins from the cold.
Grace Brett she decided to get involved with the Yarn Bombing project because she thinks it could be useful to intervene to make the city more colorful and because she would have liked to see her works finally on display after many years of commitment in knitting.
When the project was completed, the city seemed enchanting to her. Yarn Bombing style knitting is really very useful for contrast the dullness of urban spaces. The knitted works have become the main protagonists of the Yes Arts Festival and it seems that all the locals have appreciated them a lot.
The group that participated in the initiative was made up of people of all ages who were truly inspired by Grace's meticulous work, skill and patience. The over XNUMX year old granny confirmed that age is not an obstacle to participate in a contemporary art project, just as happens thanks to the Lata65 initiative which in Portugal involves the elderly in street art without age limits.
