Series Statement
Creating a juxtaposition between industrial materials such as flagging tape used on construction sites with homespun techniques such as knitting and crocheting, the choice of materials and the selection of a garish color palette are all intended to question the assumptions society makes about gender.
The flagging tape unexpectedly provides the perfect gauge to create in the larger scale I envisioned for this series. At the same time, the use of industrial materials challenged me to create a new set of tools to suit the scale and to force compliance.
