Sculptures

Danielle’s sculptural work investigates the relationship between fiber, femininity, and the devaluation of fiber-based works of women artists, Black, Indigenous, and women of colour (WOC), racialized peoples, and LGBTQ2+ practitioners.

Her phd dissertation situates the historical feminization of craft within the more refined phenomenon of what she call “femaffect.” She defines femaffect as specific negatively feminized impressions or feelings that have become “stuck” (Ahmed, 2010) to certain artworks, particularly to fiber mediums and gendered creative processes associated with softness.
