Taffeta  // Reven Swanson  //  powder-coated steel  //  2012  //  $15,000

Reven Swanson says her sculpture, “Taffeta”, is inspired by a traditional sewing technique used to create a skirt waistband. As she explains, "Women have a long tradition and silent history in how we pass experience and knowledge through generations. My Grandmother taught me how to bake cinnamon rolls. My Aunt Laura taught me to knit. I buy a certain laundry detergent because that’s what my Mom insists is the best." She says she made this piece to be a contemporary record of women passing down cultural traditions and to combine traditional craft with modern expectations.
