This volume brings together a cross-disciplinary group of anthropologists, researchers of craft, and designer-makers to enumerate and explore the diversity and complexity of problem-solving tactics and strategies employed by craftspeople, together with the key social, cultural, and environmental factors that give rise to particular ways of problem solving. (Routledge)
Just published is this ethnographic study of ‘design and making’, which includes a chapter by Toronto-based anthropologist Jenn Law that features our print-inspired, text-based artwork, such as the Haikube, Self-Printing Book, Landscape, and Impressions.
In her chapter titled Mastering Mimicry: Strategies of Transference in Print-Based Art, Jenn writes about print as a problem-solving strategy in contemporary art.
