Christine Walsh
Sculptor, Printmaker and Mixed-media Artist
I am interested in utilizing the craft traditions passed down from grandmother to mother to her daughter, such as sewing, knitting and crochet. Tightly woven with the female gender the craft becomes elevated from the domestic and private level into an artistic and public space, which traditionally has been patriarchal. Craft and Art reside in distinct realms differing in impetus, presentation, and perceived merit. I see one as originating in a female tradition and one in a male tradition. Mixing up the distinction is a goal in my own work. I use materials such as my own hair tied to ribbons to make a hair cape, dehydrated apples crocheted together to make pants. I also employ cast metals whose process and craft conventionally practiced by men. Mixing the components helps to exaggerate the disparity and dilemma I perceive not only between art and craft but also between men and women within the artistic context. When the traditions work together, the work stands for strength of will, a tenacity and defiance necessary in anyone who thinks, speaks and acts for herself. Particularly when the thinking, speaking and acting reach outside of the mainstream perception of what is normal or expected.
