Administering Sabotage Through Craft

A large-scale textile work by Amanda Ross-Ho, *Administering Sabotage Through Craft* combines humble domestic materials—cotton jersey, embroidery thread, and wine—with industrial elements like aluminum thumbtacks and layered paint to blur the boundaries between fine art and handmade labor. The work engages the loaded cultural history of craft as a feminized, undervalued practice, reframing it as a site of deliberate subversion and agency. Ross-Ho's inclusion of cabernet sauvignon among the listed media adds an irreverent, bodily dimension, suggesting process, accident, and the residue of lived experience embedded within the work's surface.
