about the event
Arising from her 2-year masters at ArtEZ University, 'in plein site' is the result of an investigation into the notions of worth surrounding the female crafter, her craft object, and her crafting process. Through an autoethnographic methodology, Andrea wrote this collection of poems as a way to start conversations around, as well as better disseminate, the academic ideas of her masters research to a wider audience.
This handmade book incorporates multiple moments from her durational craft practice through text, materials, and illustration. Each copy of this limited, first edition thus includes unique nuances and asks to become physically part of its reader's life.
Copies of the book will be on sale at the event, so come and join us for a wonderful evening of poetry, art and print.
The book is published by the new 4bid indie-press, and the event will extend to Saturday 12th.
