Alarna Lawley

Crochet is a material that opened up conversations and allowed for discussion through textile pieces. As a craft that is dominated by women and is historically claimed as workingclass, Alarna has used crochet to explore ideas around access to the arts, about value in the arts and about the classism present. Using her nans experiences as a lense into these conversations about social politics, how language can be used to determine class and how value is placed upon different material, practices and people.
