Summary/Artist Statement
Hand-Me-Downs is a collection inspired by childhood nostalgia, domestic handicraft, and traditional women’s work, while exploring the line between fine art and craft. Unlike fine art, craft defies commodification. Works of craft as personal mementos can be simultaneously priceless to the owner and worthless to others, making them unfit for trade. Their value lies beyond price and instead in sentiment. The sentiment of craft is what I have strived to convey through the unifying theme of childhood nostalgia in Hand-Me-Downs.
