Anne Jackson’s tapestries tell the stories of witch trails, working with scraps for folklore, myth and official record. ⠀ “There is something about a series of flimsy narrative threads being pulled together into a compositional whole, being knotted firmly into place, as it were, that is at the heart of what I am trying to do.”⠀ ⠀ #witchcraft #witchaesthetic #tapestry #handknotted #womenhistory #decoratingdissidence #craftersofinstagram #witchesofinstagram🔮🌙
Read more about Xenobia Bailey’s ‘aesthetic of funk’ in our latest issue (link in bio).⠀ ⠀ “Crochet works well for practicing my craft and developing the aesthetic. It is labor-intensive, but it becomes a meditation, like counting prayer beads”⠀ ⠀ #crochetersofinstagram #crochetbraids #decoratingdissidence #xenobiabailey #craftersofinstagram #craftispower

Our next featured interview is by @nnennaokore who pays close attention to natural form and materiality as an artist, educator and environmentalist. 🌟 Read the full interview & follow the link in our bio ⠀ “Nnenna has received international acclaim for the ways in which she engages with the environment in her artistic practice. Her abstract sculptures are created using a range of methods; shredding, fraying, twisting, teasing, tying, weaving, stitching, and dyeing are all used to create rich, textured pieces.”⠀ ⠀ #environmentalist #naturalart #crafter #womenartists #environmentalart #naturalmaterials #ceramicart #abstractform #decoratingdissidence
Our special issue ‘Bauhaus Continued’ explores the legacies of the movement. One inspiring architectural contribution comes from @tabilbaoestudio 🌟 Read full post > link in bio 🌟⠀ ⠀ “Using a hands-on approach to communicating ideas means that Bilbao isn’t beholden to the perfect image of a computerised ideal. She uses collage to uphold her collaborative ethos, one that centres dialogue and teaching as important components of any architectural process.”⠀ ⠀⠀ #archidaily #architecturelovers #bauhausdesign #bauhaus100 #architexture #collageart #collage_creatives #collageartwork #decoratingdissidence #arty
