[1] Auerbach has been making knitted pieces since completing her undergraduate degree at the Art Center of Design in 1994.
Photography was the discipline she studied for her MFA, however, due to lack of access to a darkroom, she used knitting as a cost-effective way to make art.
[3][4] "While Auerbach's slogans and signs are politically blunt, her humor infuses the work with subtlety, goofiness, mockery, and self-depreciation—sometimes all at once.
