WHO IS BUCKETHEAD?
Buckethead Productions is a handmade crochet line created by Jake Leone located in New York, NY. Without studio space during the pandemic, Jake explored new materials and processes applicable to his apartment. With only experience watching his grandmother crochet during his childhood, Jake began teaching himself how to make a variety of pieces. This project has given Jake the opportunity to utilize all his interests and specialize in fashion design. When Jake isn't doing ceramic production during the day, he is simply not sleeping and crocheting all night, but enjoying every hour that goes into every project.
THE PIECES
Every piece is handmade by Jake and designed to be gender neutral. Jake plays with mixing masculine and feminine moments, continuously confusing the construction of each of these terms. A variety of textured and colored yarn is used in the fabrication of crocheting each piece by hand. Materials found on construction sites while working with his father had always been viewed uniquely by Jake, observing their function and capabilities to expand their use for sculptural work and fashion. Integrating hardware into these organic forms creates dynamic contrast with sensual reactions.
