| Description: | Taking Time: Craft and the Slow Revolution takes as its starting point the issues emerging from the Slow Movement, which developed as a response to our increasingly fast lifestyles and our unsustainable consumer culture. Slowness is also associated with craft skills: skill which is acquired over time, cannot be rushed and is intuitively learned. Many makers today are developing critical positions in response to our consumer behaviour; questioning modes of production through new processes, looking at issues of stewardship and sustainability, as well ascollective making and reworking everyday objects. Craftspace has collaborated with the maker and academic Helen Carnac to develop the research, exhibition and its related events programme. Earley exhibited 10 shirts from the Top 100 project, which spans over ten years of her practice of exploring sustainable fashion and textiles through making. |
