" Draft and craft praxes share a bedrock: Resourcefulness. Reinvention. Resilience. Drag by its nature is constituted by a “too much”ness.; contemporary craft pushes form and function to their brink. In HandiWERK! six craft artists and three drag performers were asked to create collaborative visions at the intersection of utility and artifice; craft and camp. What manifested are dynamic works of art and performance that straddle the worlds of craft and fine art, high and low brow, object and body." ( Kailey Bryan - see  full curatorial essay  here)
