Artist Nicole Nikolich Creates Large-Scale Crochet Works Inspired by Early 2000s Digital Culture

Crochet artist Nicole Nikolich, known as Lace in the Moon, produces oversized textile artworks that replicate technology and digital interfaces from the early 2000s. Her pieces, which include representations of flip phones, Game Boys, and computer game screens, explore millennial nostalgia for that era's internet experiences. She recently presented four large tapestries at Delaware Contemporary in an exhibition titled 'Can I Please Eat In The Computer Room Tonight,' which closed in May. Microsoft commissioned her to craft crochet versions of Windows 95 and Windows 11 screens, resulting in a double-sided blanket that took two months to finish. Her first solo show, 'user_history,' featuring crocheted cellphones and game consoles, is running at Paradigm Gallery in Philadelphia until March 29, 2026.
