Craft. It is associated with handwork, utility, and rooted in tradition. Under its umbrella fall particular materials:metal, wood, clay, fiber, and glass.

In “Crafted: Subverting the Frame”, Layl McDill, Mary Robinson and Andrea Alonge create using colorful contemporary concepts blended with traditional skills to subvert the framework that delineates art, craft, and design. Their work blurs the border between “high” and “low” art, while also breaking free from the confines of the rectangular “canvas”. Employing a broad range of materials, conceptual practices, ways of making, and modes of display that have been historically associated with craft objects, Alonge, McDill and Robinson come together to create a colorful and tactile experience. Boundaries are nebulous, and the compositions burst from the walls with color and uninhibited joy.
