Featured Artist: Jill Price

UN/making the Mould: 
Knittens, Knit Knacks and other Messy Material Entanglements.

"ENTANGLEMENTS began as a series of soft sculptures created from discarded and found textiles that physically signified how all things are part of the same material cycle where objects become land, land becomes human, and how both humans and their objects affect geographies way beyond their sites and moments of production."

Cone Head by Jill Price

"Upon incorporating prefabricated porcelain figurines that often present antiquated and stereotypical understandings of different cultures, gender and sexuality, I began to uptake methods of unmaking and word play to redress narratives that have colonized, restricted, exploited, expended and confined human and more-than-human bodies."

Over Indulgence by Jill Price

"Also testaments to my own material excess as a consumer and a maker, the mixed media approach of combining found and thrifted objects rather than creating clay or textiles from scratch, aims to highlight the value and potential in existing objects for imagining and crafting new and multiple realities."
