Historically the field of textiles has presented many models of working towards social justice through unifying labor. The thread that runs through each of these, whether it be unionization, embargoes, or the quilting bee is the ability of the makers to create a forum to organize their efforts through communication with one another. I create architectural interventions, furniture, and performative objects that challenge their makers and viewers to evaluate the way our designed environment effects our ability to form relationships and communicate. Engaging in collaborative processes aimed at creating a balance of power prevents separation from production. Here haptic time and material knowledge are shared and valued resources where those who partake learn and pass skills, uniting seemingly disparate medias. It is my hope that the forums I help build encourage designers, producers, and participants to come together with new models for relational exchange.
