Ben Cuevas is a Los Angeles based interdisciplinary artist whose work spans a wide range of mediums including installation, sculpture, fiber, photography, video, performance, and sound. Often incorporating several of these elements into any given piece, he makes use of digital media as a means of documentation. In light of its pluralistic qualities, he sees his work as a reflection on the condition of embodiment, which begs the question: what does it mean to have a body, to inhabit a body, to be a body incarnated in, and interacting with, this world?
really cool stuff you have here, Ben
OMG! As a knitter I am overwhelmed by this work. I cannot imagine how you ever conceived the idea and how you knit it! I cannot figure out how to make fiber look like the articulations that you put into the piece. You have a great career ahead of you. Thank you for your ideas and your work!
Thanks for making me think outside the box!
Unbelievable! My husband is a Physical Therapist, he was fixated on the vertebrae, not to mention the whole knitted skeleton.
I am a knitter and a Dental Hygienist, I was counting teeth! Truely amazing work!!
No Bones about it my hat is off to anyone who can take the physical structure of the human body and do this with it.
It is a mastepiece!!
What a wonderful Show & Tell
Thank You,

Your work and creativity are admirable and inspiring. Thanks for sharing this with all of us!
This piece is amazing! As someone who dabbles in knitting and has sweated her way through osteology and forensic anthropology courses, this completely astounds me.
Amazing work.

thanks for the link! cheers!
I just came across your work this very day and I find it to be quite intriguing. I especially love the way your Jock Strap piece approaches the stigma that knitting is an activity reserved for women. Your work is astounding and inspiring. As an artist and novice knitter in my spare time, I’m in awe of your ability to create such beautiful and poignant works of art.. The detail and expressiveness you achieve with this medium is fantastic. I’m curious to know.. do you tend freehand most of your sculptures or is there any pattern making involved?
Best,
Vallie
Hi Vallie,
Thanks for the lovely comment. I don’t use patterns for any of my work. Everything is done freehand.
Cheers,
