Jessica Babbini-Baker

Jessica Babbini-Baker’s artistic practice merges ecofeminism and the deep-sea to explore how they intertwine through different mediums. Following on the tradition of fibre art, she investigates the feminist narratives with a contemporary perspective using techniques of weaving, knitting, and crocheting. By continuing to ‘resurrect’ women’s craft, she pushes the mediums further through extended experimentation. Through making and acquiring materials from friends, family, and strangers, the history of the materials is brought in, not only emphasising the importance of up-cycling, but also honouring their past roles in others lives.
