Flex Your Textiles
Is a coming out.
With both historically humble and ornate, masterful style, we are re-
invigorating textile traditions and creating our own.
What is your process?
What are your techniques?
How do you map your desire in sequins?
What do you do with your menstrual blood, ropes, cast-off fabric,
dyes, napkins, and felt when you are alone?
What rhythms do you create with your crochet?
Whose ghost is being evoked?
What ancient weaving tradition is having a revival in your kitchen
studio?
