Abstract

With the human body as its central focus, Crafting Anatomies explores the ‘relationships makers have with the fabric of, and for the body’ (Townsend, Solomon and Briggs-Goode, 2020: 2). Following Glenn Adamson (2019), its broad, transdisciplinary definition of craft concerns the actions and concepts of practitioners who use the body ‘as a form of “material intelligence” (Townsend, Solomon and Briggs-Goode, 2020: 3). As such, and staying true to the original intentions of the 2015 exhibition at the Bonington Gallery, Nottingham, from which it developed, the book centres around creative practice.
