Artist Lucy Sparrow Opens a “Supermarket” in a Museum With 20,000 Hand-Felted Grocery Items
British artist Lucy Sparrow has built entire shops out of felt for more than a decade. Now, she brings her largest project yet to The Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas, with The Beginning of Convenience, her first U.S. museum exhibition. The immersive installation recreates a nostalgic supermarket with thousands of handmade felt objects inspired by American retailers. Sparrow has made a name for herself by transforming empty retail spaces into fully felted worlds.
