Artist Cal Lane writes that she likes "to work as a visual devil’s advocate, using contradiction as a vehicle for finding my way to an empathetic image, an image of opposition that creates a balance — as well as a clash — by comparing and contrasting ideas and materials."

Cal Lane embraces the ultrafeminine creation of lace and turns it on its head. She takes lace-like patterns and hand cuts them into masculine materials, such as shovels, I-beams, and wheelbarrows. Her delicate lace-like patterns have also appeared in exhibitions using dirt as the medium for their display.

Take look at the gallery below for an introduction to some of her work.
