Object Drag

From the Artist:

Object Drag: Mancrafts in the Garage, features objects that are conventionally associated with regional masculine activities in the North American Midwest. During my personal exploration into the perceived space of gendered craft, I coined the term ‘mancraft’, a call back to the “mancave”, to describe these regional masculine activities. Aspects of mancrafts such as making fishing lures, woodwork and taxidermy require a level of craft and attention to detail that, removed from their culturally specific context, would otherwise be coded as feminine. This creates friction between the perceived gendering of mancrafts- masculine within feminine, feminine within masculine; the boundaries are blurred.
