Juliana is a craft-guerrilla street artist that filled in cracks and potholes in the street. She documented these a Flickr account. The photos are taken in the streets of Paris. Not much could be found known of Juliana online. her work is an inspiration because sh isn't only beautifying something that's a physical eyesore in the outside world bus she's filling it in with crocheted colorful yarn. Crocheting craft is a tradition mainly done by older women. And up until a about a decade ago, before hipsters made it "hip" again you'd only see older women doing it. It was perceived as a traditional craft in the same genre as crafting. So Juliana by filling in the grand black gaps in public space with color she's inserting the feminine into the broken drab world.
