Originally commissioned by Artpace | San Antonio as part of the exhibition, "thick."
"My practice is deeply-rooted in the foundation of craft. Currently, I’m inspired by the hippie beaded curtains, macramé, and the women’s rights movements of the 1970s. During this time, textiles and pottery were considered women’s crafts and not art, but hobbies taught at community centers, churches, and after school programs. I often think about how these were taught to women to keep their hands occupied and keep our voices in domestic spaces and out of public space. I want to deconstruct established hierarchies of materials and champion the handmade." - Jennifer Ling Datchuk
