These little crochet’s made out of human hair (yep, you heard me) are so sweet. I’m all about craft as an art and vise versa. Just because we’re in hmmm… is it fifth wave feminism now, who knows…doesn’t mean we should abandon practices that were once specific only to (or required of) females. They apply to these readings I’ve been doing about ‘abjection’ which means something that was once a part of you but is no longer, something that exists in the space in between a subject and an object. In an art context it usually takes form in performance art using bodily fluids. This is a somewhat safer and less sticky example. Anyhoo you can check her work out at http://www.lauranormandin.com/
less sticky?????????
The crochet is such a beautiful piece, but I love how the medium endows it with something altogether different ( a little bit dark ) from what people perceive craft and crochet to be like.
