|What is craft? 1. Craft the noun: the concept of an activity involving skill in making things. Craft the verb: exercise skill in making.
What is skill? Skill: a particular ability.
I insert needlecraft-based, process-oriented materials into a space to reveal the subtle nuances of a skill set or address ecological subjects with an abstracted domestic modus operandi. I am interested in hyper- amplifying overlooked aspects of darning and re-appropriating practical domestic objects while addressing the specificity of site. (Site meaning several things... physical location, location of memory, history, place of activity)
This site, typified by participation that exists under a defined understanding of craft (verb), has a finite range of possibilities. Through performance I am attempting to harness these possibilities and present them in an improvised and organized chaos. The performance has no designated location for display, or a specific time to take place. Its duration would be dictated by the amount of material available or access to its location. This nomadic presence allows for these performances to develop conversations with different locations, which in turn shapes their effect or meaning.
These performances act as sketches, which lead to discussions around private meditations and public ritual, the breakdown or build up of communication, and the manipulation of craft techniques.
