Paul Chan and His Mom Crochet Criminals Together
“We’ve been doing it like this since,” Chan explained. He comes up with a
sketch of an infamous figure he thinks would make an interesting
subject, and then the two of them chat on the phone (or “game it out,”
in Chan’s words). Sometimes his mom thinks the shape of the figure
should change, or else she just wants a challenge, “like knitting high
heels.” They settle on colors. When she’s done, she mails the
approximately 9–to-14-inch figures to him from her home in Los Angeles
and Chan adds the finishing touches: a face, hats, eyewear, prison ankle
bracelets.
