Skin Crafts discusses multiple artists from global contexts who
employ craft materials in works that address historical and
contemporary violence. These artists are deliberately embracing the
fragility of textiles and ceramics to evoke the vulnerability of
human skin and - in so doing - are demanding visceral responses
from viewers. Drawing on a range of theories including affect
theory, material feminism, skin studies, phenomenology and global
art history, the book illuminates the various ways in which artists
are harnessing the affective power of craft materials to address
and cope with violence. Artists from Mexico, Africa, China, the
Netherlands and Indigenous artists based in the unceded territory
known as Canada are examined in relation to one another to
illuminate the connections and differences across their bodies of
work. Skin Crafts interrogates ongoing material violence towards
women and marginalized others, and demonstrates the power of
contemporary art to force viewers and scholars into facing their
ethical responsibilities as human beings.
