Concept Description
HerPlace (pt 2) is an interactive, crochet and knit space. A soft environment. She is a continuation of HerPlace (pt 1), the artist’s previous semester work focusing on feminism, utopias, reproduction, and womb. By focusing on connection, HerPlace provides a correlation to being an interactive piece and the sense of community. Womanhood is a strong subject that the artist focuses on while making and creating. Womanhood influences everything she does. This piece, HerPlace, allows for space; for being. It allows for femininity. This is a space to embrace who you are, and to connect with womanhood. It is a woman’s space. HERPLACE.
