.“Woman’s Work” -
“Even though things have progressed, we are still expected to cook, clean, look pretty and take care of children. Crocheting, sewing and even selling clothing can be attributed to the same class of work.  It’s also work that would never be taken seriously or tossed for rubbish in the modern art world. Most men would never have the patience for this repetitious work. Yet many of us do this work happily each and everyday. But why is a practice that is just as technical and tedious, with roots dating back to the early 1600s, as any other art form regarded as nothing more than a craft or hobby. You rarely see it in galleries, art shows or museums - mostly in crochet’s distant relative form, Tapestry. Jill’s work pushes the boundaries of the medium itself, the Crochet yarn. These floral crocheted sculptures are a small but proud monument to represent what small acts of kindness, love and community can produce.  May they be a daily reminder to us all that nothing great ever started complete and that we are are all but one pixel in a big picture.”
-Valerie Duardo
