Craft Research Fund—Project Grant
2019
I am focusing on wools raised by Navajo producers as these are wools that I work withand it is a supply chain that I have direct contact with and access to. As a weaver who makes andsells textiles from wool connected to this supply chain and as someone who is committed to thepractice of understanding the capitalist modes of production which shape the way we relate toobjects, I have a vested interest in finding methods of describing these material pathways thattranscend the marketing rhetoric of transparency and traceability. The impulse towardstransparency in production, while commendable, only takes one so far. This project is an attemptto articulate the relationships of history, labor, power, and landscape to the textiles we make andlive with—these intangible things which are always present in materials, but whose specificity islost through the process of exchange.
