    Episode 13; The Fibers of Sustainability and Connection with Amy Meissner

    Amy Meissner, combines traditional handwork, found objects, and abandoned textiles to reference the literal, physical and emotional labor of women. Manipulating discarded household cloth to create 2-dimensional quilt-like forms and 3-dimensional objects serves as a cultural nod to the embroidery created by generations of Scandinavian women in her family, and confronts societal disregard and erasure of women’s handwork. Amy’s work is traditional, fine and craft-based, relying on the repetitive nature of hand stitching to relay a manic and confrontational subject matter. The work is approachable and tangible, its components even familiar, but challenges the viewer’s emotional history to convey layered messaging around femininity, motherhood, and the value of women’s labor.
