By pairing techniques like dying, quilting, weaving, and sewing with tough and rebellious postures and messaging, Lara Schnitger (1969, Haarlem, NL) pushes the expressive power of traditional crafts. The works on view present the familiar theme of women represented on canvas. Where the tactility of the works is soft and inviting, the works’ graphic aesthetics lend a jarringly bold impact.
