Process as Power – Craft, Body, and Visceral Sensation
Connect with other knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, and other textile makers during this collective making session led by fiber artist and museum educator, Lola Rael. Bring your own fiber project as we discuss the connections between craft and the human body through the works on view in our current exhibition Liz Collins: Motherlode. By focusing on sensation and form, Collins’s work evokes powerful personal and collective visceral experiences. Looking at a selection of textiles, we’ll discuss how Collins’s works engage with the body through transformative apparel, anatomic abstractions, and public performances of textile production inviting connections between our insights and our own creative practices. This program celebrates the traditions, skill, and personal meaning of diverse craft practices while fostering an inclusive and supportive space for makers of all levels.
