Needle's I: Stitching Identity

Needles are powerful tools for making and metaphor. We stitch clothes and relationships together, rip apart seams and arguments, mend holes and hearts. With needles, we make and re-make ourselves and the world around us, yet most of that work has historically remained invisible, or at least unrecognized. The Needle’s I: Stitching Identity traces threads of memory, craft, and family that connect needleworkers past and present, finding an “I” in the needle’s proverbial eye.
