Contemporary craft centers process, materiality, labor, and community, yet it has often lacked inclusion in fine art spaces. This friction arises from a historically drawn line between the value of “craft” and “art”. We propose a squares-and-rectangles approach; maybe they fit within and around each other! We look towards craftspeople such as renowned woodworker James Krenov, who looks for traces of the maker’s voice. He described it as: “The understanding eye sees the maker’s fingerprints. They are evident in every detail... Leave Fingerprints.”
