The next time you are going through your closet, hold onto your old stockings, that way, you can use them to create nylon stocking sculptures like Lisa Lichtenfels.
The nylon stocking sculptures by Lisa Lichtenfels are amazing models of people made with hosiery. They are more life-like than some of the infamous wax sculptures that I have seen. Lisa Lichtenfels uses wire, stuffing, and yards of nylon to create her nylon stocking sculptures.
Implications - The use of shocking images is an excellent advertising technique and perhaps the most notorious ways to attract media attention. By taking an idea that is already popular and developing a new and unexpected adaptation using different materials or subjects, businesses will undoubtedly experience a rise in popularity for their innovation alone.
